We just returned from 10 amazing days in Florence. The apartment was perfect! We could not have asked for a better location...so close to the Duomo, Santa Croce, the open air market, shopping and a doable walk to the SMN train station. The apartment is surrounded by little stores, wonderful restaurants and coffee spots. Sandro was an excellent host (thanks for the wine!) and even helped us deal with the late arrival of our luggage. My kids loved having AC and wifi, and my husband used the clothes washer. I loved the ambiance of the courtyard, view out the kitchen window and tranquility of the location. I really felt like a Fiorentini while there. I would highly recommend this apartment and cannot wait to return again!
