Great place to stay in Florence. It's only about 3 blocks from Florence Santa Maria Novella terminal, and the area just outside is full of restaurants, leather merchants on the street, and San Lorenzo market.
The location of this place is at a perfect location to start exploring Florence as it puts you in a busy corner to start walking south or east to see the rest of Florence.
The apartment had everything we needed, and we appreciated the self check in, especially since we arrived an hour before our check in time. Instructions could've been clearer because we didn't even know what floor the apartment was on. It is on the second floor.
The entry into the building before getting to the apartment is creepy. There are no lights, so it will be dark, and pretty much pitch black when coming in at night. Use your phone flashlight. That is about the biggest downside.
The basic necessities are covered, like wifi and a kitchen, but no washer. The wifi speed wasn't the best, at about 10-12mbps, which was enough for video calls with some lag every now and then.
On top of that, the power in the apartment is only there when you're in the apartment as it requires your key plugged in. So when the power goes off, wifi is off, AC, everything. If you wanted to leave something downloading or charging, you can't.
Everytime we came back, we'd have to wait for the wifi router router reconnect, and the AC would be a bit wonky and unresponsive, which was a bit frustrating.
Everything was great. There was a desk which was useful when I had to do work, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Everything in bathroom worked fine as well.
Overall, we had an amazing time in Florence and at this great location.
