Fantastic views of Florence with massive garden patio! I stayed here for 4+ days and would love to have stayed longer. The apartment is in a safe area in the top floor of an elevator building would comfortably sleep 2-3 people. There’s plenty of toiletries, fridge space, and cooking equipment. On the patio are plenty of seats and a hammock, along with a grill. The host asked I pay some attention to the plants as needed, which felt like a pretty fair trade, and only served to make me feel more at home in the garden.
The walk into the center of town is about 25 minutes, which, if you follow straight down the hill, will leave you near Basilica di Santa Croce and the Ponte Vecchio. This walk will lead you past many cafes, restaurants/bars, and grocery stores. It would probably be about €10-12 and a similar amount of time for a cab to the city center if you don’t want to make that walk.
The host, Sahand, lives across town and is very friendly. I explained I was a solo traveler, and he offered flexible accommodations on check in/check out time, recommendations around the city, and just a very positive experience overall. I hope this apartment is available during future trips to Florence.
