Ilaria's apartment in Florence was one of the highlights of our recent 2 week honeymoon. Our only regret is that we didn't stay more time here. The apartment is very clean and spacious and the kitchen is very well appointed in comparison to many other places we stayed in Italy. The location is outstanding! Near Piazza de San Croce, you are within a 20 minute walk of the Accademia, Uffizi Galleries, and SMN train station. The only catch is that you will have to haul your luggage up almost 5 flights of steps, but if you are physically capable then please don't let that be a deterrent. It's good to burn off the extra Gelato. Ilaria's English is very good and she is timely in communicating. There is also a small, functional clothes washer that we took advantage of! We are looking forward to return here in the future. Highly recommend!
