We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Via dei Servi in Florence and especially appreciated our host, Lorena Benvenuti. She is a lovely character--lively, very accommodating, and has a great sense of humor. She allowed us to stow our bags much earlier than check-in time while she finished getting the apartment ready for us. This was much appreciated, and when we returned we chatted a bit while she showed us around the apartment, answered our questions, and offered advice about the city and the area. Lorena is quite adorable and the apartment was perfect for us!

We were 5 adults, including one married couple. Three bedrooms, two of which were very large and one big enough for a double bed much not much else; two large modern bathrooms with shower and tub; a living room area-kitchen; and a delightful terrace with table and chairs at the back. The apartment was spotless, airy, and all was very comfortable. The AC worked well, and it was very quiet. The apartment is on the first floor with a cafe/deli just below us that serves great coffee, entrees, sweets, etc. There is also a fruit market just below. We couldn't have asked for more.

The location is ideal. The street is just off the piazza where the Duomo is. If you get lost, as we did a few times, all you need to know is "Where is the Duomo?", and you're set. We were just a few minutes walk from one of the main attractions of the city. There are several interesting shops on the street, a wonderful pharmacy, and even a full service grocery within two minutes.

Thank you, so much, Lorena, for providing us a wonderful venue for our visit to lovely Firenze.
