Having lived in Florence I am very familiar with the city and its neighborhoods. This apartment is fabulous. Close to downtown, but far from the super touristy areas. In the pedestrian part, near the wonderful Sant’Ambrogio market, tons of cafes and restaurants steps away.
It has screens on the windows (a must in mosquito infested Florence), very efficient air conditioning units in every room, comfortable beds, a super quiet bedroom with a view of a gigantic magnolia wrapped in wisteria, and a very well-equipped kitchen.
When the internet stopped working, Silvia had a back-up ready in a few minutes. The apartment was super clean and full of caring touches everywhere. There are about 50 steps to climb, but they are low and easy. I will definitely use this apartment again for future visits. Such a quiet and lovely apartment in a central location is an amazing find.
