I have stayed in Florence on many occasions and this apartment is at the top of the list for future visits. It is great!

Diana and her team were extremely helpful in communication, meeting us, giving us keys and a tour of the apartment. We communicated with Diana using "What's App". It's a great free texting app. Diana answered text quickly and had great suggestions.

The apartment is a "real" two bedroom, newly remodeled apartment with wonderful panoramic views from every window. I say "real" because we have stayed in other two bedrooms in Florence, where space has been created in a loft or other area for a bed to be uncomfortably crammed into. The bedrooms here are large, bright and separate. The beds were relaxing and easy to sleep on. The bedrooms are air conditioned and that was much appreciated. Summer in Florence can get hot and humid. Storage was not an issue with wardrobes and drawers for all of our clothes.

There are up to fifteen foot high wood ceilings giving this apartment a wonderful open feel. There are windows in every room allowing a breeze to travel through. My wife especially liked the light in the morning for our coffee and breakfast.

The bathroom is large and long and has all the conveniences you would expect. The tile work and flooring appear brand new. It has a large shower, but no bath.

The open kitchen has all new appliances. It is fully supplied with everything you would possibly need to cook or eat. It sits above the dining area, which was great since you can still have a conversation with anyone cooking.

The living room area has great couch and the television has Netflix, which was great to relax in front of after a long day of walking through town.

We walked to all of the Florence monuments from our location. It is five minutes walk to Pitti Palace, ten minutes to Ponte Vecchio and twenty minutes to the Duomo.

The nice part about staying in Santo Spirito is that it has not become completely touristy. There is a market that sets up in the square in front of Santo Spirito in the morning. As my wife, our companion and myself walked around, my wife whispered to me, "Most people here are speaking Italian". You don't here find that a lot in a city that get millions of visitors from around the world. There are a multitude of great restaurants and bars within a short walk.
