The apartment absolutely matches the description and photos. Bright, spacious and equipped with everything a guest in Florence may need excepting an aircon system (the host assured us it wasn’t that crucial even in summer time since the external walls are thick and the apartment located on the ground floor). Since we stayed in the second decade of April, the aircon system played no role. On the contrary, we were rather interested in warming up the bathroom because the heating season was already off by that time and it was slightly cold there. The issue was simply solved by a portable heater available in the apartment.
I should mention the apartment interior which the host treats in a careful way. Lots of pictures hanging on walls, decorative bowls and etc. It’s explicable because the host (Massimo) was born and lived there. The apartment isn’t just soulless rooms with beds. There was a filling as if we were at home.
Massimo (the host) turned out to be a communicative nature. He wondered about our itinerary (we landed at Milano Malpensa) in advance so that to advise the best way to Florence and apartment. He greeted us with a bottle of Lambrusco and some sweet snacks. Massimo also suggested us storing our luggage in the apartment after the check-out time till our departure from Florence which was few hours later. We didn’t have to bother ourselves about looking for a cloakroom in the Florence SMN station.
Few things to keep in mind. First. The apartment is placed closer to the edge of Florence center, consequently it may be tiresome to walk back, for instance, from Palazzo Pitti or Piazzale Michelangelo in the end of a day spent in the museums, churches and galleries. But you can catch a taxi or buses heading to Piazza dell' Indipendenza. Second. Windows of the living room and bedroom face the street where vehicles pass by. If you are a light sleeper, it might be noisy outside especially with open windows.
To summarize. Assuming the above-mentioned, the apartment and host are absolutely advisable.
