Ciro made us feel very welcome, explaining everything and even emailing us later with more details including recommendations for restaurant and shops. The apartment had everything we needed and although the bathroom was small it worked perfectly.

The location is absolutely amazing, you are literally in the centre of everything and can easily walk to all of the sights you'd ever want to see in Florence.

The bed was firm but comfortable and with the breathtaking view of the Duomo (it's actually the only thing you can see from the window when sitting on the bed). Even though we were there in November the noise from the street was noticeable - so this is probably not the place for you if you are a very light sleeper.

A recommendation for a supermarket (not the expensive Spar down the road) is the Supermercato Sapori Dintorni on Borgo San Lorenzo, just the other corner of the Duomo square.

I will be making sure that anyone I know who is visiting Florence stays in this apartment !!
