Andrea was amazing! He was responsive, helpful, and provided very clear communication about check-in and other items.
The place is compact, but cozy nonetheless. The moment you enter, you can see a lot of thought went in to welcoming guests--- from the maps, books, and restaurant recommendations.
The kitchen has basics --from a small moka pot and tea kettle to allow us to start our days with a warm cup of coffee and end the day with a warm cup of tea.
The flat is a 20-25 minute walk from the center of Florence in a more residential neighborhood. Thankfully, there is a bus that leaves you right in the front of the apartment. The area was calm and we felt safe walking back after dinner around 11pm/12am.
One thing to note, there are mosquitoes in the backyard. Thankfully Andrea offers citronella candles are other item to help keep them at bay. Because of the mosquitoes, I couldn't have the patio door open and go in and out like I originally planned. When I did go outside, I had to turn on all the candles and wear protective clothing. If you are sensitive to mosquitoes like I am, be mindful of that going in. I'm not sure if the mosquitoes are around all year-long, but they were buzzing around in October when we went.
Other than, we highly recommend the apartment.
