Summary: Overall it was a pleasant stay in this cozy apartment for the both of us and would highly recommend anyone who wants to stay in Florence to stay in this apartment!
Alessandra was very proactive pre-stay, providing direction and also checking in on our arrival timing. Even when she was not able to be there, her friend Monica was there to assist in the check in process.
The apartment was accurately depicted as per the photograph taken, so no surprises when we arrive at the apartment. Be prepared for the toilet sink is big enough for brushing teeth. Hot water is consistent. Patio is spacious and cooling with no direct sun cause it is actually an opening in the courtyard surrounded by walls. AC position in the bedroom will blow directly on one of person on the bed but is otherwise comfy! The apartment is on the first floor of a historical walk up building.
Location was ideal, is right at the midpoint from the train station and the cathedral, about 5-7mins apart. Central market is just round the corner of you need to get fresh produce on ground floor or food on level 1.
Just need to be aware of the early checkout requirements but Alessandra/Monica was able to provide an alternative arrangements and we are very appreciative of the assistance.
