We are so glad we chose to stay at Lorenzo's place in Florence. He was such an excellent host. He was prompt & quick to stay in touch prior to arriving and during our stay. It easily to find the apartment. Lorenzo was there to greet us and to show us in. He made us feel very welcomed and we immediately felt at home and ready to get settled in. Its was beautifully decorated inside and very clean. It was great to have some of the regular necessities a home should have, clean towels and soap etc. We were very thankful for a well working air conditioning in both bedrooms. The apartment felt fresh and comfortably cool during warm weather outside. The apartment was very centrally located to the food market (which we loved, all kinds of quality food to eat there or take away) a big street market full of leather goods and more. Just a short walk to stores, restaurants, cafe's and delicious gelato shops. We were a walk away from the bus stops that can take you locally to many points of interest such as Boboli Gardens or museums. The train station is but a 7 minute walk if you are not coming by car. We used the bus system easily buying our tickets at the train station, very inexpensive €1.50 p.p at the red machine box by the entrance; Stazione Santa Maria Novella. We also used the taxi twice which was wonderful, its quick & easy, just paid a bit more to travel to local point of interest € 12-18 ( 2 p).
All in all our stay at Lorenzo's apartment was so wonderful, we really felt like we were close to everything. It was a great feeling to come home to the apartment after a long day and relax in comfort. We slept well at night to a very low noise level. The windows are very sound proofed. At the end of our stay Lorenzo came to see us depart and called us a taxi then helped us out the door to see us off. He was very kind and we felt like made a friend. I highly recommend Lorenzo's apartment if you ever come to Florence. We would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you to Lorenzo for a most wonderful stay.
