This apartment location is IDEAL and I can’t say enough good things about the host which is a key factor. Let’s start off with the fact that the coffee maker is Alessi and the coffee he left us to enjoy was the best I’ve had outside of the cafes. He cares and he will come back 4 times until something is taken care of which again is key. The master bedroom mattresses are very good and the 4 pillows were a bonus. The voom box speaker allows you to enjoy your music from wifi. The owner is open to feedback and ideas.
Downstairs from the apartment (which has great security with three doors to get to the very quiet apartment) is a fabulous pasticceria and one of the best gelaterias in Florence. ALL central buses leave from right outside the door and the Oltrarno area that it’s in is great for day and night life and still offers the great charm of real Florence.
We are staying again at the beginning of the new year.
