The apartment is in a great location, just steps from the city center and lots of restaurants and shopping! The apartment was very spacious, with lots of lights and charm. The amenities were just as listed, with a washer you can use, and a fully equipped kitchen. Check in was a breeze, though we did not know who to ring at the front door. Sharika's friend was in the apartment, and was the one who welcomed us. She provided us with a map of Florence, and all info needed (ie wifi password, etc.) and a tour of the apartment so we knew exactly where everything is located.
