Nice apartment close to all of the sites.

We stayed 5 nights in this apartment. It was a good place for us, walking short distance to Duomo, Uffizi, Academia and train station. Positives: good amount of space, nice kitchen, washing machine which we needed and used for one load. Negatives, the bed was not good for me, i have some back issues and after 5 nights i was truly ready to move on, with sore hips from lying on my side on a too hard mattress. There isnt really a living room, but the two black chairs near the kitchen table are what one can sit in. Again, not the best for my back. The host Georgia was lovely and met us on arrival and gave us a tour of the place and made us feel very welcome. This apartment was apparently cut from a larger apartment so there is a strange entrance door, but no knob so exiting was a little tricky. It would be helpful to have a knob added to make entry and exit less exciting. Internet went out with storms one day and there is no cell coverage without the wifi. It was fixed next day but it was a problem the night we had no coverage because we were unabe to book train and event tickets that night from inside the apartment. Lots of nice restaurants nearby, great location. Great hosts. Improvements could be a more convemtional love seat to relax, with an ottoman for the legs, a doorknob on the entry door, and a mattress foam topper to soften the bed.

Cute Little Apartment

My boyfriend and I stayed at this apartment for two nights in Firenze and it was absolutely perfect! Definitely wouldn’t try to squeeze 3 people - it is truly a quaint little spot perfect for one or two. Right in the middle of the Central market, but from inside you couldn’t hear a sound. We were greeted at check-in with ins-and-outs of the area and Daniele gave recommendations of things to see and do. Francesca was easily accessible through WhatsApp and was very helpful over the two days. Everything in the unit worked properly and was clean. No complaints - highly recommend.
