The apartment is centrally located, a few minutes from both the Central Train Station (S Maria Novella) and the Duomo. The Mercato Centrale is also minutes away, great for food shopping and casual eats. Although it is bang in the tourist area, the apartment is quiet and elegant - I felt we were living like locals. All communication was prompt and accurate - Francesco (and his father Leonardo who let us in on arrival) could not have been better. All our extra needs we met. As we were travelling with a young baby, Francesco provided a high chair, cot, stair gate and even age appropriate toys. The apartment is airy and elegant. Both bedrooms are spacious, bed linen beautifully ironed and fresh, and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we arrived to find a bottle of wine, water, coffee pods and other staples. We met Francesco and his young children, who were staying on the same floor, so felt personally welcomed. This apartment is a real find.
