I loved everything about this apartment! Giulia's husband Alessio was there to greet us and my mother and sister just fell in love with him. He gave us a quick tour and provided all of his and Giulia's contact information in case we needed anything, which would be great for an emergency. They also provided a map with all their favorite places in the area, and we used it several times to find good places for lunch and dinner. It was very, very helpful.
The location is fantastic, just blocks up from the Duomo and one block away from the Accademia (where the David is displayed). Florence is small and easily accessible by foot, so being in the city center is ideal and makes it quick to get around. The apartment itself was gorgeous with tons of natural lighting, and we were all stunned at the views from the rooftop terrace. The kitchen was charming and saved us money since we cooked breakfast and lunch, and the neighborhood was quiet which made for a great night's sleep. There is also a supermarket nearby, which was helpful when we needed food or drinks (but mostly wine).
To say I really loved this place is an understatement; it was definitely my favorite place to stay in all of Italy. I hope I have the chance to visit again in the future, and I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in visiting Florence (which is, to me, the most beautiful city on earth).
