We had a fantastic time in Florence - the apartment was quirky and so gorgeous! Not as big as we envisaged but perfect for two people - as long as you’re not too tall as it’s in the attic and lots of low beams! The location was perfect - we were an easy walk away from practically anywhere we wanted to go, and the apartment was right next to the wonderful Santo Spirito Square, which has such a brilliant atmosphere! Would definitely stay here again!
Little warning about Florence in general though - maybe we hadn’t done enough research, but I was not expecting it to be mosquito central?! I’m not generally someone who is bitten often, but we both came home covered top to toe in really itchy bites! And noted lots of people who had been bitten scratching at the airport and on our flight home too, so it wasn’t just us!! We realised as we were leaving that there was actually a mosquito ball in the bedroom in the apartment that we hadn’t seen - I would suggest using it!! And invest in some insect repellent for when you are out and about in the city! It was the only downside to visiting such a vibrant,
beautiful place with so much history and culture to get your teeth into!
