This apartment, the location, the hosts is more than enough reason to stay here. The convenience of being right between the Arno River and Stazione Santa Maria Novella, made it easy to feel comfortable, safe, and like we were part of the community. The apartment is small, without much frill, but it's well stocked with necessities in the kitchenette, the bathroom, and the balcony is a nice place to sit and "people watch". It is also located on what is technically the second floor (up one flight of stairs), but it's not a problem. The wi-fi works great, if you stay longer than 5 days the hosts will have the apartment cleaned, with a linen and towel exchange. We hope you choose this location, and enjoy making it your "home base" while in Firenze, as much as we did. Ciao!
