We were two adults and two kids (11 and 9 years old) and spent 10 nights in April in the apartment.
The apartment was clean and perfect for our needs with a good value for money in a city like Florence.
Very bright on top floor of the building (elevator) with surrounding terrace and great view.
Spacious combined living/dining room. Fully equiped built-in kitchen. Nice wooden floor. Two bedrooms (one with kingsize bed, the other with two small and a baby bed). Two bathrooms (one with a bath tub, the other with shower cabin). Good impression of sofa bed in the living room but we didn’t use it.
Overall, good quality of furniture and equipment with some need of renewal (kingsize mattress, wardrobe, chairs). Equipment of terrace could be a bit more elaborate (e.g. missing sun protection).
Location is good, albeit not directly in the old town. About 25 min walking distance to the cathedral. We didn‘t mind to walk almost every day and we didn’t check public transport. We felt safe walking but cannot tell how it is late at night. We didn’t find disturbing the big street close to the apartment. Instead, we enjoyed distant and green atmosphere after the lively historic center. Big supermarket (Coop) with parking 4min by car or 13min walking (Via Galluzzi). A mid-size supermarket (Esselunga) only 8min walking distance from the apartment. We also liked the well-equipped CONAD city supermarkets spread all over the old town. Good Neapolitan take-away pizza (Spera) 8min walking distance from the apartment.
Parking: NO free parking around the apartment. The white areas in the street are for residentials only. We were lucky to find one in the early evening and just left it there without being controlled. Alternatives are: parkings along the street with blue marks (parking meters with card acceptance). In that area, for 2 Euro/h from 8am-8pm (except for sundays if I remember well). Or Parking garage in the same building for 30 Euro/day. There is also a parking garage underneath the fortress which seemed to be cheaper but we did not check it.
Federico was very responsive to our requests (at the beginning, missing equipment in the kitchen and problems with Wifi).
Last but not least: don‘t forget moskito repellent! Even mid of April, we had lots of them.
