We arrived a bit early to the apartment and Elena and Oliver were extremely quick with communication and sending over their assistant Federico. He was great! He helped carry our baggage up the stairs, and once we got into the apartment he went over everything we needed to know for our stay in their apartment. We came prepared with a list of restaurants and sights given to us by some Florentine friends at home and Federico went through the entire list with us and told us which were worth seeing and which weren't as well as drawing on a map where each one was located. He also gave us a few that our friends at home missed - one of which was a delicious pasticceria which he brought pastries from for us. He spent nearly an hour with us on the map making sure we were seeing the best things and eating at the best restaurants around!

The apartment was great, it looked exactly like the pictures provided and was very comfortable. It was larger than we expected with a huge sitting room and very large bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed.

The location was awesome. We were 5 minutes walking from Il Duomo and the center of the older city - Walking distance to just about everything. We felt very central and had a nice landmark to help us find our way home each night.

Overall, the stay was great and we'd highly recommend staying here.
