If you are looking for a great one-bedroom apartment in Florence, this is it! We stayed at two of Ilaria's apartments, which are only steps away from each other. The apartments, the hostess and the location are perfect! I looked at so many places and I am so happy that we stayed here. Ilaria is the perfect hostess. She is such a warm and friendly person. She helped us with places to eat and shop, and recommended a winery tour that was one of the highlights of our trip. She also arranged for our taxi to the airport. She was in contact with me many times, before we left on our trip, to answer any questions I had. Even before we arrived I knew the experience would be great.

The apartment is exactly as pictured... spacious, lovely furniture, clean and comfortable, and while we didn't cook, the kitchen has everything you would need. The apartment is on the top floor, but the air conditioning worked very well and the apartment was cool (and it was in the 90s while we were there). My husband and I thought the bed was very comfortable and our boys, ages 18 and 15, slept on the hide-away sofa and thought that was comfortable too. The design of the sofa bed (different than the typical U.S. style) allowed for a thicker and more comfortable mattress. Also the apartment is in the BEST location you could ask for. It is right next to the Uffizi museum and the river, and the windows face the river for a beautiful view. It's also in a great location to walk around in the evenings....very near the Ponte Vecchio. You will definitely be happy you stayed here. We were!! Thank you Ilaria!!
