My partner and I stayed at Michele’s place for 3 days over the new year and it made our time in Florence very enjoyable. It’s a convenient 15-17 minute walk to/from Santa Maria Novella train station. His apartment is close enough to be a 10 minute walk to/from the Duomo but tucked away on a side street that is a refreshing break from the crowds.
Our check-in experience was pleasantly surprising. Michele met us at his apartment and he gave us an overview of his apartment and of Florence. He has prepared a thorough Welcome Guide that covers everything -restaurants, directions, grocery stores, pictures, facts about each neighborhood, etc.
His apartment is cozy and is nicely furnished to make your stay that much more enjoyable. He has a kitchen with all the essentials so we took advantage by cooking many of our meals during our stay. The grocery store was about a 3-5 minute walk from the apartment so it’s very easy. We also utilized the washing machine and drying rack, which was a huge help since we are on a long trip and Florence was just one of our stops.
Check-out was a breeze and we were able to keep our bags in his foyer for an extra hour since our train departed after the check-our time.
I honestly don’t have a single bad thing to say about this listing and/or Michele. If it is available and you are considering booking, don’t wait!
