This apartment was perfect in every way! So much better than expected. Serena was very quick to respond to my questions before we booked and that is one of the main reasons why I booked her apartment. I wanted to make sure we would be able to have contact with the host in case we needed anything while at the apartment. She always responded within minutes and was so helpful! Corso was there to meet us with a smile when we arrived, showed us around, & answered our questions. The apartment was spotless and beautifully decorated.
The location was perfect and close to everything. The train station was minutes away, the main attractions in Florence were just a short walk from the apartment, restaurants and car rental locations near, and there is a grocery market across the street. This was the most ideal location! The Arno River was just a block or two away as well.
The apartment itself was beautiful! Very modern and quite large. It looked just like it did in the pictures. The air conditioning system was top of the line and everything you needed was already in the apartment. The kitchen was filled with high tech appliances, an ice maker and water filter system, and there were even two different types of coffee makers (we used both every day!). I was pleasantly surprised that there was a smart tv and we had access to Netflix, although we didn't have much time to watch television. There were two hair dryers and plenty of toiletrees (soaps and shampoo) that added a nice touch.
Serena left us a wonderful bottle of wine and honey. Such a nice welcome gift and totally unexpected! Every time I contacted Serena she responded within minutes. This apartment was worth every penny we paid. I would even say that it is worth more and that we got a great deal! I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make their stay in Florence memorable. 5 out of 5 stars!
