Violet's House is an excellent option for those visiting Firenze. The apartment is spacious, comfortable, convenient and scrupulously clean - an incredible bargain. You can easily walk from the apartment to all the major sites in the city, and it's five minutes from the train station. The building is very secure and easy to find. Riccardo and his mother were flexible, friendly and responsive. They have maps available and offer some great tips on restaurants and gelaterias. There was a bottle of wine, some cookies and fresh fruit to welcome us. I highly recommend Riccardo and this apartment!
