We had a wonderful 5 day stay in Florence at this apartment. Communication with the hosts was clear, quick and always helpful. The location is excellent, very close to all major sites and an easy walk from the train station. Having a lift in the building was a bonus! The apartment is very spacious and comfortable and is wonderfully quiet despite being right in the heart of everything. The host responded immediately to my enquiry about kitchen supplies, by dropping off two pans to use in the oven! Very thoughtful and helpful! the hosts recommendations for restaurants were great, as was their advice on where to look for leather goods and what to avoid! There is a small grocery store just down the street and the Mercato Centrale is a short walk away. Great for buying meat, fish and produce if you like to cook at home. And don't miss lunch on the upper floor there! Florence is an amazing city and Alessandro and Azadeh made it a great stay. Definitely recommended!
