This apartment is just perfect! It is clean, bright, cheerful, and tastefully decorated and a fun place to unwind after touring Florence. The balcony is just charming too, and an ideal place to relax after a tiring day. Iris and Giuseppe are so friendly, helpful, and hospitable, they could easily win "AirBnBs hosts of the year". It's a shame that we couldn't spend more time with them, they are genuinely caring people that go out of their way to ensure the guest's comfort.
The location of this apartment is great too, it's almost as if the city was developed around it. Minutes to Palazzo Vecchio & Uffizzi Gallery, 10-15 minutes to the Duomo, 3 minutes to Basilica di Santa Croce, and a short walk to the Boboli Gardens & Pitti Palace.
You HAVE to try Trattoria Anita, just ~50-100 steps from this apartment. The food is excellent, the staff are so friendly, and the prices are very reasonable.
L'Osteria on Via dei Neri also has great food, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. Everything is just very close.
The apartment is on the 3rd (or 4th floor), and the steps are steep. If you have heavy luggage or ambulatory issues, this apartment may be challenging for you (otherwise, it is just perfect!!!).
I wish we could go back to meet our hosts and have a nice meal with them, as well as stay in their charming apartment. It was the perfect trip to Florence.
Grazie Mille Iris & Giuseppe.
