Very clean, modern apartment in a great location. Andrea is a conscientious host who made everything easy.
Large, 3 bedroom apartment- we only needed 2 as my husband and one son could unfortunately not join us at the last minute. Very clean, modern with updated bathrooms and kitchen. Andrea also left some breakfast foods for us for the next morning, which was very nice. We learned how to make coffee with a percalator! Several books, maps, brochures were left there, which was helpful.
We didn’t really need anything from Andrea during the stay, but he was always very helpful and responsive when we had a question before. Forgot to ask him about an iron, but we really didn’t need it. We also ate twice at his family’s restaurant below, which we really enjoyed - fresh, homemade food in a friendly environment.
Generally a quieter time of year in Florence, but this week was apparently the start of spring break visitors, so crowds were larger (per my daughter, studying here for semester). Andrea’s place is close to everything. Very close to Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti, on quieter side of river. You really can walk to see everything. The furthest was the train station, about 20 minutes away, and we did that walk twice plus then walked to Santa Croce where my daughter was staying.
