My husband, our little dog and I had simply the best week-long holiday in Firenze. The apartment was everything we wanted--a centrally located place to sleep, relax, cook a little, bathe. We were able to imagine we really lived in Florence for a week. Our dog felt very at home and adjusted to the new apartment very quickly. We got coffee from Mantra Coffee every morning before our morning walks around the neighborhood and surroundings areas. We dined at the Michelin star restaurant l'Ortone a five-minute walk away, had delicious sushi at a hole in the wall three streets up. The flat is so central but also not in a part that feels commercial or touristy. We cooked a meal at the apartment and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare the meal (except olive oil, but luckily you are in the best place on earth to buy that!). We walked everywhere from the apartment--never took public transport or taxis. The city is so walkable! Highly recommend staying at Paola and Lorenzo's place.
