Just returned home & had to write this review. The pictures are what you get. This place was perfect for myself, my husband & 18yr old daughter. Much cozier than staying at a hotel. Very walkable to nearby restaurants & a taxi stand right in the Santa Croce square, 5min walk. We only used the taxi to get to the train station, otherwise walked everywhere. There is a very large wall map in the living room which helps you familiarize yourself with the area. He has a nice little book cabinet which has various florence/Italy guide books to thumb through. Cute little kitchen which I did use a few times to just make a quick egg breakfast before heading out for our day of adventure. There are bikes for use but didn't use them due to the small streets &uneven pavement but you could consider it an adventure to try. His house manager Olga met us when we arrived which he was able to accommodate our earlier than 3pm check-in. Also one day I locked the keys in the apartment & Olga was there in a few mins to let us in. We totally loved this place & would highly recommend. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.
