I couldn’t have been more pleased with my stay at Filippo and Diletta’s beautiful apartment in Florence! The apartment is exquisitely furnished, spacious, and extremely close to what I consider to be the best parts of the city. The décor reminds one of an old-world villa with gorgeous painted ceilings and lovely furnishings throughout. There is a large window in the downstairs that lets in plenty of light with shutters that can be closed for a restful night without annoying traffic noises. The upstairs is also tastefully furnished and overlooks the downstairs. The bathroom and kitchen are updated with modern fixtures and very suitable for anyone’s needs, with a hair dryer, washing machine, iron and ironing board, microwave, stove/oven, and very nice dining utensils, plates, pots and pans, and so on. The neighborhood is safe, full of lovely shops and restaurants, and only minutes away from the Duomo area. We never had to take a cab anywhere. Everything we needed was in a short walking distance. Diletta met us at the apartment upon our arrival and was most accommodating. I accidentally left my jacket in a wardrobe, and she took the trouble to mail it back to me after my stay. If I could give this place five + stars, I would!
