I really enjoyed my stay and will most certainly be a returning guest! Daniele, Clara and their friend Victoria were extremely friendly, helpful and professional. The apartment, room, and bathroom were very nice - extremely clean, modern and comfortable. Upon arrival they explained everything I would need to know not just about staying in the apartment but about visiting Florence, providing me with a map and directions for public transit and the sights.
The apartment is across the Arno River from the historic center but is just about a 10-15 minute walk, which I actually enjoyed each morning and evening. It is a quiet area where you will get a taste of life as a resident, and see things you would not have the chance to if you stay in the city center. Also, I was traveling alone and felt very safe in the neighborhood and in the building. It is also very close to Piazza Santo Spirito which has great restaurants and bars.
I will definitely be back! Many thanks to Daniele and Clara!
