This property was absolutely amazing! The location was perfect, it's at the center of Florence and we passed the Duomo everyday. You can see it from the apartment. Even though it's right in the middle of everything, the apartment is very quiet. The elevator was a great feature that I loved since I was traveling with my dad who recently had a heart attack. The location was also great for this reason because we could stop back for a rest several times a day with no problems. The city is easy to navigate and most everyone speaks English. You can visit and enjoy it no problem, even if you speak zero Italian. Stefano is an excellent communicator. He was born and raised in the city center and is a true Florentine. His restaurant recommendations were amazing and we ate at Trattoria Za Za twice!! Loved the spaghetti lobster!! He was very warm and welcoming when we saw him, reflecting the personality and culture of the town. We will definitely be visiting Florence again and using one of Stefano's properties. My parents are saying they want to come back every year and already feel like the apartment is home!
