I am having a difficult time writing this review because words can't describe our experience at Florence 360! One word - Amazing! The vibe in this apartment is incredible. The furnishings, art, paint colors, and the view! Fede was also amazing! He is just as cool as his apartment. He spent 45 minutes with us giving us recommendations for restaurants, things to do, even invited us to a dance party at his hostel. Communication leading up to our arrival was clear and accurate. (He said a taxi from the train station would be 10.00. It was 10.20. Ha!)
The 86 stairs up to the apartment are no joke and neither are the stairs inside the apartment. If you are not in decent shape, I would not recommend this property. The little kitchen is functional and we enjoyed preparing meals and eating up on the Birds Nest. The oven works really well! The loft bedroom is cool - the brick arch ceiling is really amazing. We let the sun rise wake us up through the Easterly facing window. Borgo San Jacopo is a super fun street with excellent restaurants and shopping. There is a great market just a few doors east of Ponte Vecchio on Via de' Bardi that has really nice food. We found the Florentine people to be very patient and friendly. Unfortunately we only spent 3 nights here - not enough time to see all the sites. Thank you Fede for allowing us to stay in your truly special home! P.S. Sorry we left all those empty wine bottles.....
