We had a great time in Florence in October. We stayed 10 days as a group in this apartment, so we learned the ins and out of the quirks of the place and building. It’s in a wonderful and busy location, central to everything. The views from the terrace are unbeatable, and Florence in general is a dream, so it feels magical.
There were 5 of us, in town to perform at the Florence Biennale. We learned quickly that you can’t take showers at the same time, or really run anything if you need to use the shower/run the washing machine/dish washer. It all really needs to happen one at a time, which wasn’t efficient for 5 people always. The WiFi doesn’t reach the whole apartment. It’s strongest in the living room where the router is, but disappears in the rooms quickly and is not possible in the kitchen. They left us with enough toilet paper/paper towels/garbage bags for 5 people for about 2 days of our 10 day stay, so if it’s a longer visit, just be prepared to bring in your own supplies. They do provide sheets and towels, which is a big help for travelers. Grocery store on the street, which was helpful once we figured out what we needed for the apartment.
We didn’t want to keep 10 days of trash in the apartment, so we quickly learned where to take trash in Florence, about a block and a half away.
All in all- gorgeous apartment, simple amenities, old and with quirks, as most Florence apartments probably have, but an unbeatable view and the most prime location. Thanks!
