This was one of the loveliest apartments I've stayed in during my travels around the world. First, the host, Arianna, lives in the apartment for part of the year. (We were the first guests of the rental season.) It's not a sterile rental apartment that someone has bought to make money. Second, the apartment is in a great location, a 10-15 minute walk from all the major sights in Florence and a 5-minute walk from a grocery store. The terrace has great views. The market is just a 1-2 minute walk; you can buy produce and fresh pasta, etc. It is also one of the quietest apartments I've ever stayed in. If you are a light sleeper, have no worries! Third, the apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. The beds and pillows are comfortable and the kitchen has everything needed to prepare a meal. Having a washing machine and drying rack was convenient. Finally, Arianna's restaurant recommendations were great and she responded quickly on WhatsApp. Our stay could not have been better!
