This place is awesome and checks all the boxes. The reason we picked it was because it came with a parking spot and since we were driving that was important. It’s a secure password protected area where you park the car. If we didn’t have a car we could have had places that were even more central to the ‘must-see’ spots such as the Duomo or Pointe Vecchio, but with parking this is the next closest option that I could see. It’s about a 20-25 minute walk to either of these destinations and the city center in general. The tram station is less than 10 minutes if that’s what you would be doing.
The place was super clean, was well equipped with coffee machine and some pods (we didn’t use any) and also had a bottle of water. Think of the apartment as a studio apartment with a sofa that turns into a pull out bed which is super comfortable. The shower in the bathroom is awesome. Only thing that first jumped at us was a strange sewer like smell coming from the bathroom but then walking around the city we smelt it repeatedly all over the place. I am assuming that’s not something that can be fixed or is the apartment’s fault. It’s not too terrible and you get used to it within minutes and near the end of our stay it was dissipating. Notwithstanding that I would give this place 5 out of 5 stars.
We were meet with Thomas who is Monica’s husband and he was super nice to deal with and made sure he did everything to make our stay comfortable, including giving restaurant recommendations, showing us around the vicinity of the apartment and giving us directions on how to get to various places. There’s an AC that was great and the elevator in the building made things easier even though it is only one floor up.
The best part was how clean the apartment was and it is absolutely charming. I would stay at this place again in a heartbeat.
