We stayed on 2 separate visits with a Venice trip in between. Mariangela is professional, helpful & very accommodating. She is an outstanding host, & helped us so much with our queries!
Flat: Very secure entrance with small lift. Lots of stairs, but only a few steps to elevator. The flat is spacious for a couple with 2 children. I loved the sofa bed, very spacious & comfortable. The air conditioning is super - very cool apartment. The bedroom has wardrobe with shelves, & big bed & importantly a full length mirror! Keep the windows closed to stop mosquitoes coming in.
Kitchen: The kitchen has lots of utensils, a hob, microwave, fridge freezer & kettle.
Bathroom:
One important note -there is a very good hairdryer provided, a Parlux, so don’t bring one - save suitcase space! Good shower. Lots of towels, toilet paper & soap.
Nearby:
There is a great bakery a couple of doors away, & a good restaurant. A very good supermarket 5 mins walk. The location is hard to beat, 3 mins to Ponte Vecchio, 3 mins to Piazza Republica. Florence is so walkable & one of safest cities, so leave your heels at home & walk everywhere. Leave room in your suitcase as so many great shoe shops! Most comfortable shoes ever. I could happily have stayed for longer, location, location, location! I would Absolutely stay at Mariangela’s apartment again. Thank you so much for all your help! X
