This is a nice and spacious rental. The thoughtfulness of the host was very much appreciated. Violante met us and showed us the apartment, and there was a bottle of champagne and food for us. We felt like we were in a relative’s house instead of a rental. The location is excellent, within walking distance to the major attractions and to the train station. There was no need to take a taxi during our stay. Good restaurants, gelaterias and a super market nearby with even an ATM next door. Just be aware that there is no elevator and you will have to walk two flights of stairs. Will definitely stay there again if going back to Florence.
