You don’t need to look any farther for a perfect place to stay in Florence. Silvia’s place is in a perfect location just steps over the bridge from the river in Florence. I have visited Florence twice now and I prefer to stay on this side of the river. It’s close to all of the shopping, restaurants, gelato, and places to see on both sides of the bridge. We walked everywhere easily while in Florence from here. Santa Maria Novella Station is only a 15-20 minute walk. Silvia responded to all of my questions before we stayed and after check-in immediately. She left is a bottle of wine upon check-in as we were celebrating our 25th anniversary. Apartment was safe, very clean, two AC’s worked wonderfully, good wi-fi, nice spacious shower with great water pressure, a second half-bath and we appreciated the washer to wash a few quick loads of laundry. As we left for excursions in the morning a quick coffee and the best croissants were just outside the door at the espresso bar next door. Lastly....the gelato!!! Everyday we went to La Carraia (located right on the corner by the apartment) for a new flavor of gelato. It’s simply the best gelato!!! Thank you Silvia and Felix for a great stay in Florence.
