Mirko is a great host with a great place. Large/ clean/ modern apartment with more amenities than we could ever use in our 4 night stay. Loved being just outside the downtown Florence vicinity, with a 15 minute walk (20 in heels) to the train, Academia, and Uffizi. We chose this apartment for the style, but really came to appreciate the location. The distance creates a trench to nullify sirens and tourists; delivering us 4 deep undisturbed nights of sleep, while providing a truer feel for authentic Florentine community that a more central location could.
90 Degrees and the AC was very effective!
True there is an elevator, but it’s more for luggage than avoiding steps.
Mirko was the icing on the cake. Coming from NY, I’m not accustomed to such difficulty in getting taxis, as in Florence. His attentiveness, steady communication, and willingness to coordinate our transport needs totally eliminated that challenge. I can’t imagine another host be so dedicated to their guests. Combine that with his local knowledge and suggestions, and our stay was unforgettable!
