This is a lovely apartment with quick access to the Firenze Santa Maria Novella Station. It was a 10-20 minute walk to just about everything, including the “other side of the Arno” and it’s bohemian flair. The kitchen is stocked with basic cooking/eating utensils and there are several markets close by for you to grab some basics like sugar, milk and fruit as well as toiletries if needed. The patio is an extra treat. Even though it is right in the middle of town, all you can hear are the birds singing and your Italian neighbors chatting. We had a wonderful time using this apartment as a home base for three days in Florence and I highly recommend it. Barbara was super responsive, helpful and gave us great sight seeing advice. She even has discounted tours with CiaoFlorence...we recommend the Chianti Wine Tour. Don’t hesitate to book, this place will be on the list of high demand spots soon!
