I don’t know where to start...
Simona, was incredibly hospitable. When we arrived she met us at the apartment, and not only walked us through the amenities of the apartment, but also provided this fantastic guide book on the apartment, some of the considerations on the stay and some of the highlights and considerations on Florence.
The apartment itself is amazing. Cute and quaint, yet roomy enough for myself and teenage daughters (a facmily of four would be totally fine in this location). The attention to detail is fantastic, and it is very well organized. I felt at home there because it is how I would live if I I actually lived in Florence.
The location is amazing. It is in an area that is not on a heavy tourist path, yet everything is so close. You can get to any of the sites within a 10-15 minute walk a the most.
When I think of the many reasons why I would go back to Florence, staying at Simona’s place is one of them. While we were there, there was a couple staying in their other apartment beside us for a month, and truthfully I can appreciate why. Florence is a beautiful city with so much to offer, and that apartment could easily be home for a week, a month, or even longer.
