We spent a wonderful month staying in Bruno's and Luca's apartment on Apostoli St. The apartment is just as described and the photos are realistic. We felt right at home. We live in a very rural area and found this apartment to be so light filled and comfortable. There was a little street noise but it was mostly the clip-clopping of horses hooves as the horse drawn carriage's went by and it was so quiet at night. The beds were so comfortable we slept soundly every night. Luca provided us with all the towels and sheets we needed for our stay. Luca was very responsive and communication with him was very easy. I had asked if there was a grocery cart to use for going to the local Conad Store and Bruno delivered one as we arrived. When we told Luca of a plumbing leak, he had it fixed as soon as he could. I did a lot of stovetop cooking and found everything I needed. It was nice to have a good sized refrigerator and freezer and a full 4 burner stove and a nice oven. The work table was a very nice addition and there is a set of pantry shelves to store food. There are several good osterias and trattorias within less than a 5 minute walk from the front door. Our favorite was the Hosteria il Desco in the next block which specializes in serving gluten free options that are delicious as well as attending to other specific food allergies. The lift for the apartment worked very well the whole time we were there. The location of this apartment is so central you can't go wrong staying here. There are small alleyways that allow you to wind your way around the historic center and avoid the tourist routes. There is a very convenient taxi stand just around the corner. You are especially close to great shopping including the marcado nuova. We had a slight adjustment getting used to the hot water system but had many nice hot morning showers. There is an efficient and easy to use clothes washer and Luca provides a nice large hanging rack for drying your clothes. We hope to come back next year to continue our study of Italian and will try to come when we can book this apartment again. I recommend this very highly. Thank you Luca and Bruno for hosting our wonderful stay in Firenze.
