This apartment was in a good location in a more authentic area of Florence, while still walkable to the city centre. It was nicely furnished and Ludovica was very friendly and gave helpful recommendations.
However, we stayed in August during particularly hot weather and the apartment only had 2 small fans. This made the apartment very hot, even with the windows open and made it difficult to get to sleep at night. We asked if Ludovica could source anything to cool the flat down, but although she tried she was unable to do so. Therefore I would suggest that while a lovely apartment, if you struggle with hot weather at all (or are a light sleeper) you might be better to use this apartment in the cooler months.
That aside, there was a plethora of bars and restaurants in the surrounding area, supermarkets and squares.
