Our group of nine were so delighted to spend 10 days using the Michaelangelo and Giotto apartments for our home base in Firenze. There could not be a more central, convenient location to walk the various historical sites and museums in Florence. Our host, Salvatore, who is Anna's son, was very responsive, especially as we got close to arrival and then during our stay. He responded to all questions directly and clearly, and assisted in our understanding about best transportation options from and to the airport, etc. In fact, Salvatore arranged for the cab to the airport for the various members of our party, who departed on different days, and we had no issues with the arrangements. Salvatore also provided suggestions for dining, which were excellent, and provide valuable information on how to secure reservations for certain of the Florence sites. The apartments had modern bathrooms, comfortable beds, reliable Internet, and spacious rooms. The Michaelangelo, in particular, is clearly recently renovated and comfortable in the bathroom and flooring. The kitchen had all essential utensils and we also had washing machines and used the drying racks since our stay was long. The elevator begins on the first floor, but there is a stair rail chair to get from ground to first floor for those with mobility issues; our party did not need it so I cannot comment on how well it works. The refrigerators were stocked with basics like yogurt and milk. Salvatore was always available during our stay and very flexible to work with. The place was very, very clean and well-taken care of. The street traffic could be loud in some of the rooms at night because the location is full of street activity in the evenings and early mornings, but I quizzed each member of our group each morning, and no one had any trouble sleeping in the evenings; one of our party did use ear plugs, which worked well for them. All in all, we were delighted at how convenient, comfortable, and pleasant our stay turned out to be. We certainly will not hesitate to stay at Salvatore's place in Florence if we have the good fortune to return.
