This was the best apartment we rented on our trip. Andrea and Silvia spoiled us. They contacted us the day before asking what time we were expecting to be there so they could meet us. Once the taxi left us, Andrea was right there waiting for us and helped us with our luggage. It is a lot of stairs but so worth it. They were so warm and inviting showing us around their immaculate gorgeous apartment. The amenities were above and beyond seriously. There was a cabinet full of food for us, the fridge had water, milk, yogurt, beer, juices etc. Also, a nice touch was a welcome bottle of wine with the local biscotti. We felt like we were being hosted by family. I had never rented an apartment and was extremely skeptical but this experience has me seeing things in a different light. The location of the apartment was PERFECT right close to the Piazza de la Signoria and just a short walk to the Duomo. The supermarket to get supplies is really just a short walk away. We stayed for a week and did not want to leave. I can't say enough good things about this apartment and the hosts. Do not think twice and rent it for a memorable stay in Florence.
