If I could give this place 10 stars instead of 5 I absolutely would. Pierre’s apartment is so gorgeous, clean, close by to the city center, and very accommodating. There are 2 large bedrooms and 2 large bathrooms with everything equipped there. The mattresses might even be more comfortable than my own mattress back home. There is a gorgeous balcony view, as well. Don’t be alarmed by the traffic in front of the apartment, you can’t hear them at night. He has these windows that completely block out sunlight and sound. The showers are wonderful, there is central AC and heating, and a washer Our host is wonderful. He checks up on us, gives us a lot of advice and tips on the area, and responds instantly. There is a cute, yummy cafe next door to the apartment and a park across the street. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Florence and neither should you!
