This was the perfect location for our stay in Florence and we felt so at home in Federico's apartment. We had use of the kitchen, outdoor area, bathroom and the bedroom; the set up was perfect for us and it was really generous of Federico to let us use the essentials like butter, coffee, seasonings, etc. in the kitchen. Yes, the other reviews that mention the noise outside are correct: the market traders store their stalls below the room, but we were provided earplugs by Federico (even though we packed our own after reading the reviews) and these did the job of preventing the noise from disturbing us, so don't let this aspect put you off staying in this incredible home in the heart of Florence. Ideal for a couple looking for a warm and welcoming location in this beautiful city. We look forward to staying again!
