The apartment was great. Had everything you would need to cook and enjoy yourself. Fast wifi, clean and plenty of space. The bed was comfortable and had plenty of extras (blankets, pillows).
The location was amazing. Our first time staying on the other side of the river, and it won't be our last. More restaurants and cafes, less tourists. Beautiful streets and architecture and a short walk to all the places you would want to see. There were several grocery stores we could walk to and a fantastic pastry shop a couple doors down. The neighborhood was perfect.
The host was generous and helpful. Jorgelina was waiting to meet us at the apartment and showed us the apartment and how everything worked. She was quick to answer any questions we had and booked a taxi for our early flight out of Florence. Jorgelina was also helpful regarding questions we had about getting our covid test in order to return back to the US. (Pharmacy down the block, 11am-12 noon testing or you can schedule a time at other pharmacies). There was a custom map with places of interest and great food recommendations. Couldn’t ask for a better host.
The experience was too short. We stayed a week in Florence and wished it was a month. Strongly recommend the host, the apartment and the location. We are already planning a return trip.
