Our stay at Ricardo’s apartment was fantastic . Although check-in was not until 2pm Ricardo was very flexible and got our room ready a bit earlier which we really appreciated . His communication was very prompt and the apartment is only about 10min from Santa Maria Novella central station . The pictures of the apartment are accurate and we were glad to cook ourselves during our stay . You will however find the best gelateria of Florence in the next street . The apartment is close to all the tourist attractions so easy enough to walk everywhere . Thanks Ricardo for all your help . Regards Sarah and family
