Fantastic location! Our host described the apartment as a 10-15 minute walk from downtown, when in fact, within a single short block (5 minutes) we were already in the heart of the city. The local Florence street market is steps away, as are restaurants, a magnificent, historical and delicious Food Market, grocery stores, bars, etc. The apartment has top-of-the-line, high quality finishes with maximum attention to detail. It's also historically interesting. We did not have time to adequately research before traveling and our host was exceptionally helpful with recommendations and tips. The apartment was well supplied with basic cooking necessities such as spices, oil, etc. Additionally, dish tabs, dish soap, sponges, etc. The apartment is tastefully and comfortably furnished without being cluttered. The showers, toilets, kitchen, etc. were spotlessly clean. We didn't want to drive directly into the city and our host provided us with an inexpensive and convenient alternative. He also helped us carry our luggage up and down the stairs and provided us with two set of keys, water, a bottle of prosecco, etc. Additionally, the host was patient when we arrived later than expected and as flexible as possible with check-out time, and offered to store our luggage . This meant that we could have an additional day in town. We've stayed in Florence at least 7 or 8 times and this was by far the best accommodation we've selected. The host's communication was optimal and eased little issues that may have otherwise been hiccups. Highly recommended. You won't regret the selection.
