This was an amazing apartment with an incredible location, right in the heart of Florence. It was so convenient for all of the sites we wanted to visit, Uffizi, The Duomo, San Marco Museum, Ponte Vecchio bridge, La Specola and much more. There was a lovely atmosphere on the streets close by of a night time with great bars, fantastic restaurants and great places to have breakfast and a coffee in the morning.
My friend and I stayed and the bed was big enough to share. The apartment was so clean and very warm on cold February evenings. Great shower, clean kitchenette and plenty of room for the two of us. We would both highly recommend this apartment and would most definitely use it ourselves again if we returned to Florence for a second visit. We had 3 full days of being art tourists and two days either side to settle in and then to get ready to fly home. Easily walked across the city to the train station in 25 minutes where we got the bus straight through to Pisa. When we arrived in Florence we got a cab at the station but only because we weren't sure that we would find the apartment. If we had a map at that point it would have been really easy to find. Fabio provided us with a great little map on our arrival which we used each day. If it's going to be your first visit to Florence book all your visits to Duomo, San Marco etc beforehand. And even if you book your visit to the Duomo online you will need to pop into the Museum behind the Duomo to reserve your slot. You won't get in without this reservation, your online ticket isn't a reservation ticket.
People are extremely friendly and helpful but they appreciate if you can offer a few words of Italian, hello, good day, thank you, please etc. Oh, there is free wifi at the apartment so we did all of our google translate checks, emailing etc. there.
Florence was beautiful and the apartment was perfect! Thanks to Fabio, he was a fantastic host.
