We had such a lovely stay in Roberta's apartment. It's a beautiful, spacious and clean place to stay. It is even nicer than in the photos. Roberta was extremely helpful and kind when we met her first. Checking in was very easy and relaxed. She leaves some great information on the locality which was a big help.
There is a carrefour supermarket across the park from the apartment. The park also had a playground which was nice for our son. We were very happy with the location. It's a nice walk into the city from san frediano. It takes approx 20 minutes to reach the edge of town. However, the beautiful piazza Santo Spirito is only a 5-10 minutes walk away. This was one of my favourite areas of Florence. It has all you need, restaurants, food and drink. It's less touristy than further in the city and this is a real plus for the area and the apartments location. There are so many different streets you can take to go towards the city and you'll find some lovely restaurants and cafes etc on your travels.
The apartment has no lift as mentioned in another review. We had a child and it didn't stop us having a great time in Florence.
Grazie Mille Roberta.
