My wife and I just spend nine wonderful days, June 2018, in Chiara's apartment in Florence! After spending hours touring and walking we would actually say, "Let's go home, meaning the apartment, to relax a while". Then we would be refreshed to go out again for dinner. Apartment is nicely situated along Via Faenza not far from the Central Mercado and the SMN Train station and only about a 10 minute walk to the Duomo or 15 minute walk to the Arno. The apartment is among a group of modern low-rise (1, 2, or 3 stories) apartments behind an electric key-operated gated entrance into a beautifully maintained garden...an oasis of quiet from the street noise. Everything is new and modern...and everything worked, i.e. AC, hot water in the shower, etc. True Queen sized, not just a double, bed and comfortable. Elevator worked great though we did not really need it as the apartment is only one floor up. Lovely balcony overlooking the garden. There are two washers and two dryers in the lower level of the building...clean and not overused. I highly reccommend this apartment.
