Had a great stay at Tiziana’s wonderful apartment. My daughter was ill so we spend more time than we expected to close by. The area was fantastic, the Mercanto Centrale was fabulous both to buy in food to cook or to eat upstairs both great value for money and tasty local cuisine options.
Alessandra was amazing, gave us a lot of tips on where to go and what to see and followed up with some further recommendations on WhatsApp. She spend a good half hour with us asking us what we wanted to do and giving tips and recommendations.
The kitchen was small (typical for a European city apartment) and we did have to stay in and cook a few nights and everything we needed was there (a stove top and microwave, no oven). We bought fresh produce in the Mercanto and cooked it at home.
The apartment was warm (the loft very warm at night we didn’t need winter pyjamas up there).
Florence In January was very easy to navigate - we did not wait more than 5 mins to get into either the Uffizi or the Accademia and it was easy to access all the “famous” artworks including David which we went to see at 12.30 and got straight in! There were fewer than 50 people in the hall when we went! The Duomo tickets were easy and we queued for approx 15 mins to get into the actual building (security checks) which was the longest of the trip. A wonderful stay! Thank you.
