The apartment was very nice. Clean. Neat. Very comfortable. It was a bit too far for walking to the center of town where all of the restaurants are located. Il Duomo was a twenty minute walk. The Uffizi Gallery was thirty minutes. The Academia was about ten minutes, being the closest. The apartment is on a busy street with a lot of traffic and very narrow sidewalks. But, most of Florence has narrow sidewalks.
Prior to arriving in Florence, we had arranged to check in early, at 11:15am. We arrived at the apartment at 11:15am and no one was there to greet us. I called Sid to let him know we were there, and he told me that he would be at the apartment in thirty minutes. So, the four of us stood on the sidewalk , outside the apartment with our luggage, until he arrived thirty minutes later.
We were a bit annoyed.
Once Sid arrived, he barely said hello to us, and led us into the apartment. He showed us around, answered a few questions and left. We felt like we were imposing on him.
If we were to return to Florence, we would opt for a place closer to Il Duomo/Uffizi Gallery to be more centrally located.
