Italy is beautiful and Florence was magical. The apartment is in the heart of the city easily walkable to the Medici Chapels and the Duomo, and downstairs there are shops and cafes and restaurants. Just be mindful that the restaurants immediately surrounding the apartment serve up tourist trap prices so I highly recommend going off the beaten path a bit. However the cafe/coffee shop right next door (Almus) was cheap and great to start the day.
In the mornings you can hear the church bells ring (which I initially thought might annoy me, but no— it’s peaceful and memorable) and from your kitchen window you can see the Medici Chapel which is charming in the morning and at sunset. I spent a few mornings just drinking my coffee by the window and enjoying the breeze.
Overall, we were very very happy with this apartment. It was very clean and well stocked with soaps and towels during our stay to where it felt like a hotel. The bed was clean and comfortable and the apartment was well organized. (Though I could have done without the live/laugh/love on the walls lol.)
Even the washing machine had detergent available for use which came in handy as we were halfway into our two week Italy tour.
We had minor issues during our stay including a charred iron in the closet which was unusable. However I contacted Corinna that evening and she kindly brought us a replacement to use the next day which we really appreciated. Another thing to note is that the listing says it’s on the 3rd floor, but for us silly Americans, please know that actually means the 4th floor (ground/1/2/3). No elevator means it’s quite a ways up a narrow stairwell so be prepared if you have heavy luggage or are easily winded. It certainly earns you the right to indulge in all the pasta and gelato during your stay lol.
Overall a great stay. We would absolutely come back here again.
