This apartment is a gem. We walked there in 10 minutes from Santa Maria Novella and spent the rest of the time marveling at how close we were to everything. It's such a joy to be able to decide to pop out for a pre bedtime stroll on a whim and be at the Ponte Vecchio within 2 minutes! The building is one of the oldest and was cool and incredibly quiet.
The flat is well equipped and we had room for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 teenagers). The 2 sleeping areas are separate and the fact that each had a bathroom made it even easier. The kitchen is small and perfectly adequate for simple cooking and the dining area the same for eating.
The owner is clearly aiming to make the experience as good as possible. Check-in was smooth and friendly with the welcome addition of a few luxuries in the fridge and enough coffee to get us going. It was also very helpful to be told where the nearest supermarket is.
Comfy beds, super clean, plenty of towels, a washing machine...you could arrive with a change of clothes and a toothbrush for a week!
A marvellous place to stay.
