Convenience, amenities, and a warm welcome made this a great value for our stay in Firenze. Firenze is a very walkable city, but turning right out of the building and looking down the street to see part of the Duomo not more than 100 ft away was a incredible way to start our day. Despite the small space (it was the perfect size), there are a number of amenities (washing machine, lift, good a/c on very hot August days) that made this stay a good home base for Firenze and travels to Siena (perfect day trip) and Cinque Terre (yes, we went against reviews/online advice and did it in a day, but are glad we did). I was concerned that given its proximity to the bustle of duomo sightseeing tourists that the flat would be noisy. For this light sleeper, I was pleasantly surprised that the flat was incredibly quiet with no street noise from below. For those that like a bed on the harder side, this flat, like the hotels I stayed at during my trip, will accommodate well.
Floors could have been a tad cleaner (not a big deal, but a note), but I’ve made a suggestion to the host and am confident that given Azadeh’s attentive care for her guests and immediate communication, this will be looked into.
By the way, the gelato spot just outside of the building is highly recommended. Enjoy!
