The apartment was very well maintained and sparkling clean. It’s location was a definite plus, as it was within walking distance to all amenities and about 10 minutes walk from the Firenze SMN Central train station. The city centre was just a short 5 minutes walk from the apartment. There was a Chinese restaurant next door and a supermarket just around the corner. There were also a number of restaurants nearby for a taste of local food. We enjoyed our dinner at Za Za restaurant nearby - great food and fantastic service!
All rooms were fitted with air-conditioners - this was especially important in the hot summer heat. All the air-cons were working well and provided a cool environment for a restful sleep after our walking sight-seeing during the day. The kitchen was adequate and we loved that a Moka pot was provided to make our own coffee - a very nice touch!
The only downside was that the apartment was located on the second floor and there was no lift - we had to carry our luggage up one flight of stairs before we reached the entrance door. However, this was not too much of a hassle for us as there were two guys amongst us who could help carry the luggage for our family of five. However, this may be challenging for those coming with heavy luggage, especially for ladies and senior persons travelling without able-bodied companions.
Overall, I would rate our stay as excellent, even after taking into consideration the above downside. Would definitely stay again should we come by Florence and would highly recommend the apartment to friends visiting this wonderful city.
