Location, location, location!
Arrived at the Santa Maria Novella train station, walked less than five minutes, arrived at the apartment to find myself immersed in an amazing street full of vendors selling fabulous (and affordable) leather purses, belts, jackets... shopping lovers will be thrilled!
Not to mention being located right across the street from the Mercato Centrale (market). The main floor is full of fresh fruits, veggies, meats, coffee shop, olive oils…
The only way to describe the 2nd floor would be to call it a really high end food court. I was overwhelmed with all the delicious food and drink options. A must visit!
Did I mention the home is less than 10 minutes away from the Duomo? Make sure to visit it in the eve, it looks really great lit up. The apartment itself is just like the pictures! Not only is it a terrific space, but Margherita and Lorenzo made sure to include toiletries, juice and water in the fridge, a document with all their food, shopping and transportation recommendations…
They were wonderful hosts. Any time we had a question, they were so quick to reply. As a first timer to Italy, it felt like I had friends there to guide me along on my visit.
A definite 5 star apartment!
