This is the most fantastic apartment that you can get. The host, Francesco, contacted us well in advance, giving us details of what to expect and also sent us step by step photographs of how to check ourselves in. As it happened, Francesco was present when we arrived and gave us a tour of his lovely palazzo.
The apartment is very well designed and has ever modern amenity even though it is housed in a 16th century palazzo. It has a brand new kitchen with an oven, microwave, dishwasher, hob , coffee maker and enough cutlery, dishes and glasses for a large family.
The location is to die- for as it is just 3 minutes’ ’ walk from the Duomo and within 10 minutes of Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi, academie, etc. The place is buzzing with tourists and has a lot of good restaurants.
We also had a few great meals at the Mercato Centrale, which is 5 minutes walk from the apartment. In case you want to cook your own meals there’s a supermarket Conad City which is just 3-4 minutes away from the apartment.
In short, it is a great apartment at a great location, run by a great host. I will definitely stay there if I visit Florence again. I
