Veronica was a wonderful host, very friendly and offered excellent suggestions for places to visit and eat. The apartment had everything we needed, it was perfectly compact and a great base to go and see Florence. The kitchen was great for making an occasional evening meal to keep costs down and had a coffee machine and welcome food pack too. Top of the apartment block so wonderful views and very light all day (not shaded at all). It might be worth noting light sleepers like me can get disturbed by city noises, but this is to be expected in a location so central and in such a beautiful old building.
The apartments location was perfect for seeing Florence, about 5 minutes from the Cathedral - so very central. Our first night we went to the food market (10 minutes away) as there was great choice, good value and no booking required. Plenty of restaurants, cafes nearby and a local grocery shop opposite the apartment which was really handy - plenty of amenities. The chapel steps around the corner was a great place to sit and grab a bite - day or night there was a great atmosphere. Veronica's communication was excellent before our trip and during, very happy with our visit.
