I don't think the description of the apartment does justice to several things:
(1) LOCATION
Shopping: Yes, there are luxury shops starting immediately adjacent to the apartment - in fact, it's in the same building as Prada. But, just 3 minute walk also offers you open market places with inexpensive leather, textiles, etc. to give you bragging rights that you bought it in Florence but without breaking the bank.
Walkability: Other than, Piazzale Michelangelo, I walked to every landmark I had on my list. I knew it was a good location right in front of the Duomo but had no idea just how good it was in perspective to everything else Florence had to offer. Just loved it!
People watching: Via Roma street which is literally 50 feet from the front door of the apartment offers main strip of EVERYTHING you need, including Cafe Gilli's glass hall to sit and relax in that wonderful glass house looking out into the piazza della Republica.
(2) APARTMENT:
Sheets: 5 star hotel quality and style - NO kidding.
Nespresso cups and machine: AMAZING touch!!
Air control system: Worked awesome
Decor: Photos on the website showed how stylish and beautiful the apartment was but I did not expect the QUALITY of the actual space in person to be just as or even more so as the pics.
(3) COMMUNICATION
Luca was almost immediate in responding all throughout the booking process, leading up to my arrival and during my stay.
Our next trip to Florence will definitely be with you at Via dei Pecori!
THANK YOU, LUCA!
