The Casa Firenzia in Florence is a really wonderful find. It is centrally located with just a few minutes from the Duomo and other museums and sites. There are many restaurants and stores—such as a grocery store and bakery—right at hand. In fact, there is a great pizza place and a very good restaurant right across from the entrance door. Other great eating places are very close. The Central Market is just a few blocks away as are the bus depot and the railroad stations. You can get around on foot everywhere. The busses are very convenient
The apartment is very charming and cozy. It would be ideal for two people though there is a pull-out bed that could accommodate two more people. We found it ideal for two people. There is a generous bedroom with a very large closet and a large comfortable bed. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a large dining room.
The bathroom is compact and very modern. It is very well planned but small. An extremely large person might find it a bit tight.
There is also a sitting room with a large flat-screen TV for those who must have it. It is wonderful that the amenities include a dishwasher, good-size micro/convection oven, washing machine, and air conditioning. There is a cute small terrace outside for breakfast or lounging. Everything was super clean and very inviting. We heard no noises from the street during the two weeks we stayed here. The WiFi was quite good. The reception on cell phones inside the apartment tended to be rather weak. This is very common in older areas in the city.
The owners of the apartment, Francesca and Fabio are very hospitable and extremely eager to help. There are special thoughtful touches everywhere. At one point, we had some trouble with the entry-door lock, and both Francesca and Fabio were very swift in remedying the situation. We mention this specifically because swift action by the hosts may be very necessary when unforeseen situations arise.
We very enthusiastically recommend this charming and very comfortable apartment and the wonderful host of Casa Firenzia. We would come back there any time.
