I planned busy days of walking and exploring for the 5 days I was going to be in Florence. I did have busy days but the plans changed to accommodate the location of the apartment and the amenities provided. I cooked couple of lunches and stopped by tea the other days. The apartment is small but it has everything one needs to make it a comfortable stay...a home away from home. The almond cookies were a treat and the kitchen cabinets have everything you need. There are even tupper ware to store left overs in the little fridge. There are two grocery stores close by. The restaurants in and around the apt are very good. The bakery just down the road had excellent bread for breakfast or pastries for tea.
Close to the train station and attractions. Pretty much everything is on the streets in front of the apt. The apt is quiet but sometimes at night you will hear noises only if the window is open.
The shower is wonderful. I had to figure out how to open the door so try it out with Paolo there. There are light switches in the corridor as the lights are not left on in the common areas....very much needed when you have to climb up more than 50 steps in the night :).
The internet connection was fast. I had 3 devices on it at the same time and the speed was excellent.
Paolo responded in a timely manner to questions and is a excellent host. I will definitely stay here the next time I visit Florence.
