We had a lovely, relaxing stay. The apartment is as described and very comfortable for a longer stay. The location is perfect, and everything in Florence is easily accessible. I also appreciated having the nice-sized TV to relax at the end of a long day of sightseeing.
Unfortunately, we were lost after taking a wrong turn from the train station in the dark of night, and I also had difficulty opening the lock box as the 2 looked like a Z, but we eventually figured it out. The apartment is well-furnished and very comfortable. We loved having the extra space.
I would only recommend adding a guest notebook that offers instructions on how best to use the washer and dryer and store the leaflets from vendors. This is also an excellent place to leave directions to the nearest supermarket (we asked at the wine bar).
Finally, I would remove the note from the refrigerator charging for coffee and water. After paying over 700€ for 4 nights, it seemed a bit much (this made my husband very unhappy). In my opinion, it's best to either include one small bottle per guest with the same amount of coffee and sugar packets as a gift or nothing at all.
For future guests, I have a few local recommendations.
I booked Marco through AirBnB as a guide at the Uffizi, and he was excellent!
We ate lunch nearby the Uffizi at the Trattoria Antico Fattore, and it was by far the best restaurant of the trip. We would also highly recommend seeking out the Mercato Centrale for access to the best of Florentine cuisine. We ate there twice, once for pizza upstairs (perfect crust) and back again for the best aged bistecca Florentine I have ever had at the Famiglia Savigni. No fluff, just excellent food, perfectly prepared. The market hall has been converted to house dozens of artisanal food producers, so there is something for everyone.
You can also treat yourself at the Cibrèo in the Helvetia & Bristol Hotel. We had an incredible breakfast in beautiful surroundings for less than in a fancy coffee shop.
Finally, SUPERMARKETS; there are plenty of Carrefour Express, but the smaller markets can be pricy. I recommend the SAPORI & DINTORNI on the other side of the Duomo at Borgo S. Lorenzo, 15-17.
Thank you, Serhii, for a pleasant stay; we would certainly recommend this apartment to friends.
