Centrally located in the heart of Florence, 5 to 10 minutes walking distance from the Uffizi gallery, the Palazzo Vecchio, the Duomo, etc…..A supermarket (Conad) is located in front of the building.
Daniel welcomed us at our arrival and helped us get our luggage to the apartment. He gave us all the instructions we needed for the apartment. Instruction manuals were provided for the major appliances like dishwasher, washing machine, oven, air conditioning, etc…
The apartment is well decorated and very functional. Separate air conditioning units are provided for the living room and the bedroom. Their capacity is more than adequate so that there is no need to open the windows at night in hot weather.
The kitchen is well equipped with pots, pans, cutlery, dishes, Nespresso coffee machine, electric kettle, microwave, dishwasher, etc….
The bedroom is large with a double bed and a lot of closet and drawer space for clothes. The bathroom is well equipped with all the necessary towels and care products provided.
Parking is available near the Arno River. But one has to be careful since the parking spaces with white strips are reserved for residents. Only the ones with blue stripes can be used for non- residents. Parking spaces are free of charge at night but at reasonable rates during the day.
We had some problems to connect with the WiFi. I had bought the Firenze card+(plus) which gives access to public transport and hotspot WiFi through the city (you don’t get this with the regular Firenze card). I was never able to connect to the hotspot WiFi as advertised by the Firenze card +. I had some problems also connecting sometimes with the WiFi in the apartment. I had purchased a voice and data package from Vodafone and this helped me a lot. The Firenze card is valid for 72 hours and it was worth buying it for us since we visited a lot of museums and galleries.
I strongly recommend this apartment. You will be very pleased with the location, the hospitality of Daniele and the nice accommodation you will get.
