Francesco and Marilena were super hospitable! A pleasure to deal with. The wifi situation is something to be mindful of, I had not read the ad properly and was unaware that it did not work in the bedroom but that was my mistake. It does work in the kitchen. The apartment itself is on the second floor (so be mindful if you have lots of luggage) but is absolutely impeccable. The room is enormous, I stayed on my own but would comfortably suit a couple. Even comes with a beautiful garden view. The bathroom and shower are great, good water pressure! Everything was so clean. The breakfast was very thoughtful as well, a croissant, jam/honey, a juice box and some traditional crostini. The kitchen is brand new, with a roomy refrigerator. The hosts are not always in (as per the ad) so also keep this in mind when checking in/out. The location is what really makes this place - literally a 2 minute walk from Santa Maria Novella station, which connects you to trains as well as the airport shuttle.

Also a handy tip - there are at least 2 restaurants on Via della Scala (within about 3-5 minutes distance) that are PHENOMENAL. Tucked away from everything but the food is spectacular so you can easily roll home :)
