Some places look too good to be true. This is NOT one of those! My daughter and I stayed here for a month while we took a class in Florence. This apartment is as beautiful as it looks, and has many things you can't see, but are just as important - fast WiFi, a comfortable bed, and AC that works (although the apartment stayed remarkably cool even when the temperatures outside soared to 40 degrees C). It is located on a quiet street, just a few blocks from the Duomo, with windows that face the private courtyard, making it a peaceful refuge from the bustling streets. It is convenient to restaurants, bars, and shopping. Last, but not least, Patrizia is the ultimate host. She gave us a warm welcome, and anytime we needed anything, she responded immediately. Everything about it was perfect!
