We spent four nights here and really enjoyed the apartment and its layout. Elly was a great communicator. The kitchen is well-equipped and it was relaxing to enjoy our breakfasts and dinners in the garden. The fridge has a great freezer for making ice bottles to keep alive during the hot days. The garden has a cool "Rear Window" vibe to it. The location was fine; it's probably as quiet as Florence gets, though the occasional motorbike would break the night peace. The Florence summer air is so delightful, but mosquitoes made it difficult to leave the windows open.
The major sites are all 15+ minutes away, but we never tired of exploring the many routes and bridges to reach them.
For groceries, Carrefour Express is 250m away and Conad is 400m. There's a bus stop just around the corner where every possible bus gets you to the train station.
After later staying in Rome for three nights in a similarly-priced appartment, we look back at Elly's Florence Garden apartment as a highlight of our trip.
