The Flower Apartment is a perfect spot to stay in Florence - close to the river if you want to eat in Oltarno and a quick walk to all shopping, galleries and sites. Hosts are very accommodating and offer tours and other general information about the city. Our family of 6 stayed here for 3 nights. Entrance is a little dark and you need to climb stairs to the first floor, but this has been typical for all residences in Italy. Instant coffee and wine was there for us. Nice touch. Great value!
