I wish to express our experience in 2 sections:
1- The flat: Probably the best place you can find, in terms of proximity to the historic center of Florence AND in terms of interior design & comfort. The building is located right in between the Piazza della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio and also literally 1 minute from the Uffizi Gallery, thanks to a shortcut! When you step out in the morning, the excitement of Florence immediately takes control. When you walk back at night, strolling among the monuments in silence is indescribable.
The flat is perfectly designed. Has perfect 2 bedrooms with their own bathrooms, wardrobes, drawers, TV sets and completely isolated from eachother and 1 additional room with a retractable single bed without a bathroom, but still perfectly decorated and isolated. Entire apartment is ultimately clean and beautiful. You can simply shut the blinds and get perfect dark; or you can keep them open and enjoy the daylight to the full.
The washing machine, the dishwasher, the fridge, the microwave, the heater and the stove are completely in shape and are easy to operate.
The flat is reachable with a 3 person elevator, which is also quite an ease for the elderly or for the infants.
2- The host(s):
We had to change Cristina's plans to check-in for almost about an hour (we arrived earlier than what we suggested previously) and she showed up with a sincere smile and great hospitality and understanding, without keeping us at the door.
She gave us a friendly tour in the house and a clear briefing. She also recommended some wonderful places for our dinners. She was also available on her mobile for our questions afterwards. And her gentle husband showed up within a very short time after our one irregular request about the heating without a hint of discomfort and he helped us in an unbelievably friendly manner.
Our stay in Florence this time was short, we will be back and we hope we can be guests of Cristina again!
She and her husband are perfect hosts and the flat is awesome!
Thank you.
