You could not ask for a better place in Florence. I cannot believe my luck; I feel like a genius for choosing this place!
First of all, Francesca & Fabio are sweet, friendly people, who always responded to my messages promptly. They were waiting for us when we arrived, and made us feel completely comfortable and welcome. They went over everything about the apartment with us and answered all of our questions with nothing but kindness and patience.
The apartment itself is charming. I wanted a place that felt like I was really living in Italy, and not some sterile hotel room. This place was it. Terra cotta floors, original (ancient!) wood-beam ceilings, and an adorable interior terrace with flowers and seating for coffee or wine.
Every amenity I wanted was there. Air conditioning which worked perfectly (it was hot when we were there), a clothes washer with a rack for drying, refrigerator, stovetop, microwave/oven, tea kettle, and a Nespresso machine! Everything worked perfectly.
The bed was good and comfortable, Queen sized (by American sizing), with good pillows. We slept great. There is also a fold-out couch in the living room. The shower had good water pressure, and hot water was always available. If you have time to use them, there are two TVs, one in the bedroom and one in the living room, both with Netflix (take your password).
I feel truly lucky that we found this comfy, clean, and friendly place in magical Florence. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
