We stayed at Mariangela’s place in Florence for an entire month (Oct~Nov, ‘22) and it was exactly what we had imagined and hoped for. It was right in the middle of the action, as most tourist attractions were within easy walking distances, as well as good(albeit touristy) restaurants, grocery stores and the Firenze Santa Novella train station. As soon as you walk out of the apartment building, you’ll find yourself on the iconic cobblestone streets in the historic center of Florence.
The only negative, although it was a known trade off for being so close to the city center and no fault of Mariangela, was the late night noises from the alleys below. As many people were out late enjoying the unusually warm autumn weather, we could often hear them talking loudly well past midnight. To be fair, Mariangela provided earplugs so one could use them if they are a light sleeper. Overall, we were very satisfied with the stay and the place met all our needs during our long vacation in Florence
