Giovanna and Matias’s apartment is a comfortable, beautiful, clean and well-located home base for exploring and enjoying Florence. Apartment tour and key exchange deftly handled by Lorenzo, who also provided great recommendations for food and activities during our stay. The views from the apartment are breathtaking, with large windows on 3 sides; you can use the adjustable shutters and curtain panels to easily adjust light and breezes. The adorable kitchen has enough amenities to cook simple meals and coffee for two. The washing machine was very welcome, and our clothes dried surprisingly quickly on the rack in dry Florence air. Highly recommend Sottarno café across the street for sandwiches on the go; 4 Leoni for the pasta with pear, fontina and asparagus; and the popular Gustapizza down the street for quick and delicious pies to go. All the major sights are in walkable distance; those who explore the local neighbourhood of Santo Spirito will also be richly rewarded. Matias was lovely and patient, always available to answer questions. One small issue with water heater was resolved within minutes. We had a wonderful and memorable time here and would gladly return again!
