Really nice, practical and perfectly located apartment. Fernando and Maurizio were absolutely brilliant hosts, taking care of us all the time, providing advise regarding Florence main attractions and the New Year's festivities. The apartment itself is five minutes away from the Duomo and Santa Croce, ten from the Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio, not much more from the Mercato Centrale, and a twenty minutes walk to Santa Maria Novella Train Station. And yet, although Florence was pack-full of tourists and can be a bit loud next to restaurants and bars, the street where the apartment is located was quite peaceful in the evening. We had a nice welcoming surprise waiting for us in the fridge -- came really handy during the New Year's celebrations ;) -- and provided us with breakfast supplies for the whole week. It really was a perfect stay and the best possible experience. We certainly hope to get back to Florence as soon as possible and definitely -- definitely! -- stay once again at Fernando's apartment!
