This apartment is quiet, spacious and has an amazing balcony with a view of Florence/Duomo.
Cons
Appliances toaster/iron needs replacing. Sponges & mop needs replacing
Limited utensils. lids provided don’t fit pots, frying pans have seen better days. If I had them at home I would have thrown them out.
Some power points don’t work
Distance to city central is walkable (at least 20 minutes) but dangerous/seedy returning at night due to roadworks (underground crossing of major road) or access being through a park or along side the outside of the fortezza/back of railway line. A taxi of at least 10 euro is required for the return
Stairs! Yes you have a lift but only to the 4th floor. You need to then navigate your luggage up 3 short flights of stairs. Our main reason for booking was it’s a 10 minutes walk to train station which we needed to be at every day. Access is through the back of the station which if you have a ticket you need to walk the length of the train station to get to your platform. If you don’t have a ticket then you need to walk around the whole station to get to the platforms. It’s at least 20 mins or more.
Pros
Beautiful balcony and lovely view of duomo. Generally quite but you can hear other residents going about their business. For Florence this is quiet.
Spacious with 2 bedrooms with comfortable beds, 2 bathrooms one with bath. This apartment could be amazing with just a few changes to the quality of appliances and manchester.
