We (there were seven of us, 5 were children ranging from 12-21) so enjoyed this wonderful apartment. The location could not be more ideal – just blocks from the Duomo and the heart of Florence. About a 15 min. walk from the Santa Maria Novella train station. The kitchen was not fully equipped but it was sufficient to make simple meals. The host was wonderful and very quick in answering questions and making sure our stay in the apartment was relaxing. There is a Conad City that is a six minute walk from the apartment. Make sure you get a cappuccino and a Nutella crepe at La Milkeria around the corner and enjoy your stay in this magical city.
