Daniele's apartment was a delight. It was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. I spent an extended period (several weeks) in Florence and found this apartment to be great for that. I'd happily recommend it to others, and would gladly stay here again if I was in Florence with a small group or a big family.
Daniele's wife Amina met us when we arrived and checked us in, giving us some great recommendations for local food and drinks. It's worth noting that the apartment is about a 20-30 minute walk away from most of the major sites on either side of the river, but I appreciated the daily stroll and found the location to be a pleasant oasis away from the crowded, touristy areas.
The apartment itself was clearly recently remodeled, and the renovations were very well done, including bathrooms that felt spacious and modern. Each of the 3 bedrooms had its own en-suite bathroom, and the bedroom with a pull-out sofa bed had two bathrooms. Each bedroom also had its own powerful air conditioning unit with individual control; they were more than enough to contend with the unseasonably warm 33ºC/90ºF weather while we were there. The furnishings are basic (mostly Ikea) but sufficient and comfortable. The bedrooms also have motorized shutters that roll up and down which function as very effective black-out shades - great/dangerous for sleeping in!
The common space includes two washers and two dryers (separate, not combination - Americans will appreciate what a luxury this is in Europe!), plus a fourth air conditioning unit. The kitchen has a dishwasher and refrigerator plus a good selection of flatware and (again, basic but functional) cooking supplies. It's not really up for complex cooking projects, but definitely served for quick prep and reheating. Besides, you're in Italy! Go out and enjoy some of the best food in the world.
Daniele and Alina were very helpful the entire time. They arranged to have cleaners come by periodically to keep the apartment in great shape, and were extremely understanding when one of my co-travelers caught COVID and had to isolate in one of the bedrooms. Thanks again for everything!
