This apartment was the perfect base for us to explore Florence from. Very central and conveniently located close to the train station (made our check in and out days a breeze).
There are so many nice places to eat and drink close by, as well as super markets and pharmacies to purchase additional essentials if required. The Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore is only a 7 minute walk from the front door.. and you can see it from the window!
The place is stocked with general essentials, primarily air conditioning throughout!! A good escape from the Summer heat! Also Shampoo, conditioner, body wash in the bathroom. Cutlery, plates, cups and other kitchen essentials as well as some basic ingredients. We also found spare pillows in the cupboard if firmer pillows are your thing (they were appreciated!). When we needed something as simple as additional tea towels Gaia was quick to ride over and give us more which was very kind. I should also mention that we were able to leave our bags safely at the apartment when we arrived before our check-in while Gaia was preparing the place for us, which was also incredibly helpful.
The only downside for us is also an upside for security. It's on the top floor so it's very safe, but with no lift (naturally, it's Florence!) the 4 floors to the door of the apartment were brutal with our ridiculously heavy luggage 😂 If you're traveling light this will be a breeze but it felt like a hectic training session by the time we were done. Perhaps necessary to combat all the pasta we ate!!
But it was well worth it in the end and running back to the apartment to watch thunderstorms roll in from the large windows of the bedroom was one of our favourite things to do while we were staying here.
Would absolutely stay here again!
