I wanted to visit Florence but I also wanted to experience living in Italy. So this apartment was perfect! I rented for 1 week! It’s located in a Florentine neighborhood close enough to the famous touristy sites but in a quiet neighborhood.
So I could be a tourist one day and play resident the next.
I would go out in the mornings for my daily cappuccino just down the street and go shopping at the supermarket which is only a 3 min walk distance.
The apartment is beautiful. Love the wooden ceilings! It gave the apartment a Tuscan vibe! The bathroom is pretty big for Florence. Loved it! The kitchen had all the appliances I needed.
Yay to Netflix!!! I was happy I had Netflix because I had some rainy days so it was just a perfect day for a nice movie. Or after exploring Florence all day.
Francesco was very attentive and replied to all my questions in less than 20 min. He was very helpful. The apartment is very quiet which was exactly what I was looking for. There are also restaurants and bakeries on the same street. And a taxi-stop not far from it. If you don’t know in Italy you need to go to a Taxi stop to catch one. You don’t grab one on the streets like in New York. Or you can call one by phone.
The apartment has AC which is a plus for me but I didn’t even need to use it as it was late March and the weather was so nice and cool. The apartment is very clean and it looks like it was remodeled not long ago. There are some stairs as the apartment is on the second floor but Francesco's assistant was there to meet me at check-in and helped me with my luggage as I was traveling w a big one. so remember to pack light.
The apartment has no view of the street, it looks into other windows in a courtyard so if a street view is important to you ask Francesco, he has other properties with a street view. But I enjoyed the quiet side of not being on the street.
My experience here was great! I will be back next year!
Thanks to Francesco and his assistant!
