We had a wonderful trip to Florence staying 12 very comfortable nights in this smart apartment. Even though we arrived later than agreed we were warmly welcomed by Ilaria. She waited for us despite having other clients she needed to greet and we were very grateful. We were given clear & helpful information for staying in the apartment & the area. There are many plus points about this apartment: ultra comfortable beds & pillows, fresh cotton sheets & towels, sun terrace with sun beds, table, seats and shade. Well equipped kitchen (but bring coffee filter papers if you need your fix earlier than making it to a cafe as impossible to find in local supermarkets).
The San Lorenzo food market is 5 mins walk and is stacked full of fresh fruit, cheeses, meats etc etc. Open until 2pm Monday to Saturday with good food cafes on 1st floor & a restaurant on the 2nd - all open until late. There are excellent trattorias et al a few minutes from the apartment on Via Guelfa & Faenza, especially those with outside seating. The main railway & bus station is 10 mins walk with easy access to Siena, Lucca, Bologna and beyond. This is a perfect location for an exciting time to explore medieval & renaissance Firenze. Make sure you take the no 7 bus from Piazza San Marco to the hills of Fiesole for lunch, especially on Sundays. 3/4 an hour, 20 mins journey, gorgeous views of Firenze and €3 return. Enjoy!
