Sandra is a wonderful host who went well beyond the normal. So many little extras including a welcome basket, wine, juice and milk to get us started off very well. The apartment is very well stocked and comfortable. The wifi, bed and shower all great. We felt very safe in the apartment and the surrounding area. It does take about 20 minutes by bus to get back and forth to the historic center but this provided for some quiet evenings. The bus stop is just around the corner for two different lines. Many places to eat within the surrounding blocks. A great wine store just down the street and a large market about 10 minutes walk. Would definitely recommend this apartment and stay here again when visiting Florence.
