Do not hesitate booking this apartment. The location could not be more central and convenient for sight seeing in Florence. It was immaculately clean and all of the furnishings are of high quality. The bedrooms is in the back of the apartment which is on the busy Via Calzaiuoli and has a solid door which when closed shuts out any noise from the street. The bed is very comfortable. The sofa in the bedroom with it’s ottomans makes for a great place to rest your feet after walking the city. The bathroom is modern with plenty of room for your toiletries and ample hot water provided by an on demand system. Little details such as providing bottled water, dish soap, laundry detergent and tissues were nice. Marco responded quickly to every message I sent from the initial booking to checking out, even including when my train was delayed by almost 3 hours on arrival. Marco’s mother Simona was there for check in and helped us carry our bags up the stairs. I hope that I can plan my next trip in advance enough that this apartment is available for my stay.
