We stayed for a month at Enzo’s place and we had a great time. The house is very comfortable, luminous and spacious and has everything you’ll need for a long-term stay. It also has a lovely garden with two cute turtles that is perfect to relax in the evening. The house stays cool inside even without an air conditioner, which was great given the high summer temperatures (there’s also a fan if you still think it’s too hot!).
The owners had left a lot of basic products there for cooking and cleaning, which saved us having to buy a lot of things.
There was a good internet connection, fast and stable, so you’ll be able to work from home if you need to (we worked from home for an entire month there).
The apartment is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. I’d totally recommend it if you don’t like to stay in crowded, touristy areas and want to have a more authentic Italian experience. There were small supermarkets pretty close and bigger ones reachable by foot in 10-15 min. There are also public transport options to reach the city center (bus is the closest, but tram is more reliable). The train station is also just 15min walking distance away, great for exploring other cities in Italy for day trips.
All in all, it has everything to make you feel like you are at home.
Enzo was a wonderful host. He’s very nice, friendly and responsive. He always answered our questions fast and was accommodating to our needs. We got to meet him in person a couple of times and he explained everything we needed to know about the house and gave us some tips.
We would definitely like to stay there again if we go back to Florence.
