We were so lucky to have found this location in Florence. It is right in the middle of everything. Step outside and you're just steps away from the Ponte Vecchio and the Palazzo Vecchio. It in incredible! My husband and I took our 8 and 5 year old, and it was fantastic. The location makes it easy, to stop and relax whenever needed. If you're looking to cook, a grocery store is not too far away, just on the other side of the bridge. If you just want to buy your meals the entire time, there are a million restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The building is semi-commerical, but there was not a lot of traffic in the interior.
My husband and I were worried about not having local help on site, but Christine answers emails almost immediately. The team is quick to respond, and acts as concierge when needed. That was definitely a nice touch, since we needed a 4:45am pick-up, and with traffic in the city mostly closed off, they were kind enough to schedule a taxi service for us.
Check in was also a breeze. Silvia was very helpful. Taught me how to use mostly everything in the apartment, and helped me get situated with the grocery store, etc.
Would I stay in this apartment again? Absolutely! Would I recommend this to a friend and their family? Absolutely! It was fun to feel like a local in Florence!
