Fiora's spacious apartment is walking distance to everything that draws visitors to Florence, yet it's out of the tourist fray. You'll enjoy the immediate neighborhood every bit as much as exploring the more famous attractions nearby. An excellent supermarket is located just around the corner, or stroll on for 2-3 minutes to reach a superb and truly traditional open-air market. In keeping with the historic building, this is an older apartment, accessed by a courtyard and very secure. The high-ceilinged apartment offers two large bedrooms, two bathrooms, a parlor, a large, eat-in kitchen with a dishwasher, plus a small bonus room, a washing machine, and reliable wifi. This was my third extended visit to Florence, so I was pleasantly surprised to find all of this at an affordable rate, especially during the festive season. But one thing was priceless--Fiora's warm hospitality. She is respectful of her guests' privacy, yet also quick to respond to requests, and always kind and helpful. During our visit, she loaned me books, welcomed my fellow guest and me to join her family in celebrating New Year, and later invited us to tea, serving an exquisite homemade cake. I cannot thank her enough. Un buon saluto a Fiora!
