The apartment was superbly presented on arrival. Very clean and tidy, additionally it had everything required for a 4-week stay. Plenty of clean sheets, towels, blankets and extra pillows if needed.
The hosts responded quickly to any questions about the apartment or local activities and they were extremely proactive in making sure our stay was enjoyable. They even arranged a face to face meeting with us, at our convenience early in the stay, to ensure we had everything we needed. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival, very welcome after a long journey. We let them know that we would not be arriving until late evening and they made sure we had all the essentials for arrival and breakfast on the first morning.
It is located in a small, but attractive piazza, with a park that is well used by locals for an afternoon break or to have lunch. The Dumo can be seen from the bedroom window and it is, literally, a five min walk. All of Florence’s tourist attractions can be reached by foot and when we left/returned to the apartment at any time of day or night we always felt completely safe.
If you take the tram from the airport to Unita station the apartment can be reached in an easy 20-25 min walk even with two suitcases. Florence’s main station is also only 20 mins walk away.
There are two supermarkets within two minutes and numerous cafes and restaurants (of all price ranges) all reachable in a five minute walk.
Behind the block is a large market area, catering for fruit, vegetables, cheese, meat, fish and pasta; all the locals use it.
To summarise: strongly recommend this host and this apartment. The overall package made our holiday a fabulous experience. Many thanks to Rachele and Giacomo.
