Finding accommodations for a group of 10 people in a centralized location in Florence is not easy, hence these apartments worked perfectly for us. There are two (2) separate apartments with full kitchens in each. Large Apartment: The large apartment has 3 air conditioned bedrooms (1 room with 3 single beds, and 2 rooms with 2 single beds, totaling 7 beds), 2 full bathrooms, large kitchen and a dining room with a table that will seat 10. The living room is also air conditioned which makes it very comfortable in the summer. There are 2 doors that leads to the balcony for smokers with ashtrays. Small Apartment: the smaller apartment has 3 bedrooms (1 room has 2 single beds and 2 rooms with 1 single beds, totaling 4 beds). This apartment isn’t air conditioned but there were ample fans for the evening. It also has a full kitchen with a washer that worked well. It really came in handy for us after coming off a 7 day cruise. There isn’t a dryer (most European apartments do not have dryers) but there were ample drying racks inside and lines outside for your clothes to dry quickly. We didn’t have any problems washing clothes for our group of 10 during our 4 nights stay. The Building and Location: The location cannot be beat as we were able to walk to everywhere we wanted to visit. The famous bridge Ponte Vecchio and museum Uffizi were practically around the corner and the Accadamia where “David” is housed is just under 1 mile walk. A run along the river of Florence during the brisk morning air was also very memorable. The building is old and has a lot of charm and character. The apartments are actually on the 2nd floor where you’d have to go up one flight of stairs. In Europe they call the first floor ground floor and the 2nd floor 1st floor. We did not have any issues bringing our luggage up the wide staircase. The building is somewhat off the beaten path where you don’t hear a lot of noise yet so close to everything including restaurants, sandwich shops, and markets. When you stay here, you must go to the highly rated Gelato shop that is around the corner, called Gelateria Dei Nero. It is packed with people up till midnight. I can’t say much more about the apartments as we had an amazing time during our 4 nights stay. It is not fancy but has all the basic necessities, a lot of charm and met our needs for a group of 10. Federico: Communications with Federico was seamless. Before our trip, Federico emailed us detailed information about the area and what to expect. We stayed in touch with Federico during our drive from the port of Rome and Federico was very accommodating to meet us. The most important note about Federico and his staff is HONESTY. My son left his credit cards and a large sum of money behind and...
