Our stay in Cristina’s apartment was wonderful!
First, the location is outstanding - situated on a quiet street, but just 2 blocks away is lively Piazza Santo Spirito which strikes the perfect balance for travelers who want the best of both worlds. The immediate neighborhood has a plethora of restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, gelaterias. Then a quick 5-min walk over one of the bridges spanning the Arno takes you to the more touristy points of interests; we were able to walk to all the major sites within 10-20 minutes. The Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station is also easily accessible - it’s an easy 22 min walk or 7 min taxi ride.
Second, the apartment is equipped with modern amenities which makes the stay very comfortable. We stayed for over a week in Florence and we were able to do “at home” things like laundry and unwinding on the couch/TV area after a busy day. Great WiFi connectivity too.
Note: The apartment is on the top floor, 49 steps exactly from the ground floor.
We would recommend Cristina’s apartment to anyone who wants to experience a less touristy, more authentic Florence stay. The location truly can’t be beat.
