This small apartment was perfect for my month stay in Florence. The location could not be better or more central. One is steps from the Piazza delle Repubblica and the Duomo and the Piazza delle Signoria, a 15-minute walk to the train station, a 5 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi, a 10 minute walk to the Academia. There is a grocery store only 2 minutes away with a perpetually open food cart right next to it serving the classic Lampredotto sandwiches. Cafés and nightclubs and restaurants are just steps away. Livia has provided more than enough information about the city – architecture, places to stay, art – a veritable library. There are guide books (I left my Rick Steve’s 'Florence and Tuscany' there for future guests) and maps, and Livia responds to Airbnb messages instantly. The apartment has EXCELLENT Wifi, it is very clean, has a large bedroom with a large bed, desk, dining table, and TV. The small kitchen is well equipped and easy to make meals in. The bathroom is large with plenty of hot water. There is a great washer. There is a very large closet. There were extra towels and plenty of soap and shampoo. I stayed for a month and had a fabulous time. Florence is a great city and there are many side trips easily undertaken with the availability of trains and buses. This apartment is a great value for the price and the best way to stay awhile in this art and history filled city. For those who fear not speaking Italian – many or most venders and inhabitants speak English (and French). People are VERY friendly and accommodating. My one comment – it is noisy. This is the city and Florence is ALIVE!!! - so be prepared with ear plugs for early sleeping. But noise aside, I would definitely stay here again! This was a great find! Thank you Livia! I LOVED it here!
