Julia’s apartment is superb. The location is excellent; close enough to the train station to drag your luggage, but in a nice neighborhood. Just a few minutes’ walk to all of the major sites of Florence. There is a sufficient grocery store nearby, as well as a place to get gelato! We shopped at the Central Market on our first day and then had food for breakfasts, snacks, and even one big dinner. The bathrooms are clean and hot water is good! We appreciated having a washer & a dryer, as well as the detergent to use. The entire apartment was immaculate!
But mostly we loved how effectively Julia communicated with us and then greeted us on our arrival; so very personal and warm. She gave great recommendations and advice. I can’t say enough good things about our stay in Julia’s apartment!
P.S. The terrace is fabulous for coffee in the morning or wine in the evening!
