My mum & I stayed for a month in Florence. This apartment is highly suitable for a long or short stay.
From the moment we arrived, Guido was kind & hospitable. He insisted on carrying my mum's suitcase up the 53 steps, which was greatly appreciated.
The apartment is perfectly situated in the heart of Florence - an easy walk to pretty much everything - and is exactly as depicted in the photos: loads of natural light, spacious, tastefully decorated & well laid out.
There are no ceiling lights in the bedroom or dining room so evenings are dim lit with floor lamps or bedside lamps. Never a problem.
The kitchen is clean and functional. Guido had gone to the effort of providing some basics such as jam, bread, butter, milk, tea, coffee, biscuits & fruit (plus a bottle of wine!)
The bathroom is small but clean & tidy. The shower water pressure is worth noting - impressively good!!
There is a decent hair dryer and a basket of first aid items. We liked that there was shelf space for our personal items. Very handy.
The bedroom was comfy and smelt of fresh clean sheets (and that they were!) We were shown where to find extra sheets and warmer blankets if needed. We were told about the local laundromat and supermarket.
The open hanging space with coat hangers was well utilised by us, not to mention the shelving and a chest of drawers. We were each given a set of fresh clean towels, bundled up beautifully with a ribbon. As mentioned, everything was clean and thoughtfully put together.
We were each given a set of keys and shown the doors and security gate to the apartment. All very secure and private.
Great views from the window of passers by and things happening down in the street. It can be very noisy at night but being near the university and restaurants/bars that is to be expected. We had earplugs.
Guido was quick to respond to all communications and very obliging to assist with any queries.
Thank you Guido for everything. We will definitely stay at this wonderful apartment in the future if it is available!
