We had an amazing stay in Florence! Michele met us at the apartment at our agreed time and let us in no problems. He showed us where everything was and had made the beds up as we requested before arrival. He had a map ready for us which he marked on information about places to go and where to get food. Which was a nice touch.
The apartment is great, it's really spacious, more so than it looks in the photos. The views from the windows are amazing especially the Duomo lit up at night. There are two bathrooms which is handy, however if you have really long legs you might struggle with the downstairs toilet. The upstairs one is fine though.
The kitchen is very well equipped, and we cooked a few meals whilst there. There are supermarkets really close to buy everything you need. The bedrooms are great and the beds are really comfortable too.
It's only a short walk, maybe 10 minutes to the Duomo and the Academia is even closer. You can walk everywhere in the city from the apartment. The train station in about 10 minutes walk away too. Everything was really easy to find.
One thing to note is that the plug sockets in the walls are the skinny southern european type, not the chunkier ones. There is a mulit plug adapter connected to the tv that takes the bigger ones, and there was an adapter connected to the kettle which we bothered. if you have a lot of devices with you, it's worth taking the skinny plugs.
There is a PS3 in the apartment and a nice smart tv too. we mainly watched netflix in the evenings, connecting our laptop to the tv via hdmi. The wifi is excellent and accepted all our devices no problem.
There are a lot of stone steps to get up the the top of the building. This wasn't a problem for us but if you are unfit or struggle climbing stairs this might bother you.
All in all we had a brilliant stay and would definitely stay again! Thank you!
