This was an AMAZING place to stay and wonderful people to deal with on every level. Where to begin...? Excellent communication before and during the stay. "Accommodating and helpful' doesn't scratch the surface in describing these people. Above and beyond is much closer.
The loft is exactly as described - light and airy, comfortable with all amenities, and even a quaint little balcony off the kitchen. bathroom is clean and no hot water issues at all. The only thing missing to make it 100% perfect would be a microwave (to heat up coffee). But that is a minor discomfort. haha One note...this loft is on the 3rd floor with no elevator. It was not an issue for us but might be for others... to carry their luggage up several flights of stairs.
The location is ideal in that it is away from the city center and high traffic and tourist congestion but only meters from a bus that takes you directly to / from the main bus station, city center and bus tour start locations.
The directions were excellent (step-by-step and precise) to arrive at the apartment and get back to the train station when leaving.
The neighbourhood had everything - corner store, tabacchi shop (for bus tickets), pastry shop, grocery store, wine shop, fruit / veggie stand, a delicious restaurant, and few pubs.
Excellent vacation rental and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone traveling to Firenze.
Thanks so much!! Thoroughly enjoyed our honeymoon in Florence thanks to you.
