We loved this apartment. We actually booked it for 19 days, and used it as our 'home base' while touring Italy and Romania. We loved coming back to the apartment after excusions to Venice, Siena, Tuscany villages and more. Leonard welcomed us at the beginning of our stay and kept in touch with us to make us feel connected during our stay. The apartment is a true Firenze experience. On the third floor with a wonderful terrace overlooking an Italian neighborhood courtyard, it felt like home as we enjoyed Chianti and prepared meals in the small, fully equipped kitchen. We loved our meals out but also really enjoyed eating on the terrace many times. The apartment is mostly quiet, with only occasional reminders that others are living alongside you. The neighborhood is diverse and interesting, with a global village feeling to it. Many local shops, stores and restaurants have everything for your daily needs. All of historic Florence is within easy walking distance, and we spent plenty of time just walking about and enjoying the daily life of the Florentines without having a destination or tourist attraction in mind. The bathroom is compact, but stylish. The bedroom is roomy and airy and comfortable with incredible rustic beamed ceilings.
We would recommend this apartment to anyone who want to feel like a part of Florence rather than an anonymous guest at a generic hotel. Our experience was wonderful, and a great value.
