The apartment is in central Firenze within a few minutes walk to the Firenze S.M.N station and attractions such as Ponte Veechi, museums, uffizi gallery, galleria academia, Palazzo Strozzi are within 10-15 minutes walking distance. The apartment is huge and can easily accommodate 4 adults. Eleanora was lovely and absolutely fantastic and met us at the train station on sunday morning (allowing us to check in early) and explained everything about the apartment, the good places to eat, where to buy gelatos, tips on trying the local home made pasta around the corner, mercato centrale for shopping. Elly made our trip amazing as we knew where to eat, where to go and what to look out for in shopping and she was the perfect host. Also, the apartment has more than its fair share of amenities to cook meals and snacks. There is a pizzeria right opposite the front door of the buildings for pizzas as low as 5 euros. Also, there is a pub around where a lot of youth hang out late into the night. The sound did not bother us as we felt some noise was better than eerie silence and we slept good.
However, the only challenging aspect was that the gas is not included in the price of the apartment and it is 1.50 euros per unit and since the place is huge, it takes a lot of units to warm/heat the place up and at times it was warmer outside the apartment than inside. Therefore, we decided to just rug up and beat the cold. Other than that, the apartment couldnt be any more perfect and Elly took it up a notch in ensuring that our stay was pleasant and nice.
