Thank you Lorenzo for being such a kind and helpful host! We truly appreciated that you cheerfully arranged the very early morning taxi for my mom, and then allowed me to store my bags with you after checkout, for one last wonderful day walking in Florence.
We both enjoyed how easy and safe it was to experience all that Florence has to offer on foot (of special note Lietta Caffe is a must!!). The apartment, like Firenze itself, is a bit worn around the edges, with some charming quirks, but also very cozy, welcoming, and authentic.
The windows face into a deep interior courtyard with other apartment windows (not facing the street).This means there was no direct sunlight in the apartment, but then there was also no street noise... which made it very quiet for good sleeps! Like others, we experienced some smell in the stairwell, and if we opened windows at certain times, but not in the apartment itself. NOTE: during our stay the plumbing was actually being upgraded in the courtyard and I expect it will not be an issue in future.
The apartment is well-priced, convenient and authentic - and you are in great hands with Lorenzo!
