We had a fantastic three day stay in Florence in Andrea‘s apartment. It was exactly as described and as illustrated in the photographs. Of particular mention is the extremely powerful air-conditioning and very comfortable bed. Great for a terrific nights sleep during the heatwave of the last few days of July. Getting access to the apartment was extremely easy by calling Andrea who remotely unlocked both the street door and door to the apartment.
It is worth noting that the newish tram line, T2, runs directly from the airport to the city centre and that there is a stop (Belfiore) just a few metres from Andreas apartment. We used this frequently to get into the city centre; riding in an air-conditioned carriage being far more preferable than even the short walk into town! And it was perfect for getting to the airport. There is a flat rate cost of €1.50 for each journey per person. A great deal cheaper than Taxis!
All in all we had a great stay in Florence and cannot wait to return and would have no hesitation in recommending Andrea‘s apartment to others.
