This is a great apartment and would be even better during the spring and summer months. In the winter, it's very cold in the apartment. (However, I also happened to stay here when Florence experienced the coldest winter in 25 years so everyone everywhere was freezing!). The apartment is in an excellent location! 2 minutes walking to the Duomo, shops and the San Lorenzo market pretty much at your doorstep, the main train station about 10 minutes walking, and the mercato centrale right around the corner. It can't get much better than this apartment. Elie is also absolutely wonderful! Very helpful and accommodating, and very very friendly. I immediately took a liking to her. She took time to introduce me to the neighborhood, grabbed a bite to eat with me and chatted about things to do in Florence. I feel like she goes out of her way to make sure everything is okay, quickly responds to any questions or issues etc and just wants to ensure you have a comfortable stay. Note, at the moment, the internet connection in the apartment is not broadband- it's a cubo. Meaning you can do everything you want to do but you can't just leave it on all day and it is slightly slower sometimes - However, the apartment is next to cute cafes where you can get great wifi. I am staying for 3 months and I love the place. Elie is definitely a good person to get in contact with if you need help finding a place to stay in Florence. Happy hunting!
