Highly recommend. We had a lovely stay in this apartment and in Florence. Chiara was a superb host and was very responsive, from answering pre-travel questions, all throughout our stay and the all important help for a 3:30am taxi to the airport to catch our flight. (the taxi arrived right on time, BTW)
Florence is a very walkable city. We found the location ideal. Just across the river, about a 5-15 minute walk to do most everything we wanted to do.
The apartment has a luxurious amount of space and is well furnished and nicely decorated. The building itself is historical, super well constructed, and makes you feel you are getting the true Florence experience. The apartment is up multiple flights of stairs, but we are in our 50s and didn’t have a problem. There was also an elevator in case we had luggage or were tired. The kitchen was a great help. We stopped at a local grocery store and picked up breakfast and sandwich items, to help reduce dining out costs, as well as sundries like shampoo and a bar of soap. Beds were very comfortable. The showers were european-sized, but reasonable. The washing machine was a big help, so we didn’t need to pack as many clothes. Very pleased with the experience.
Not apartment related, but thought we’d share a bit on COVID-era travel in Florence. Florence has several locations for pre-travel COVID tests, including the Airport and (we were told) the train station and some pharmacies. We did ours at the Airport. There is an online reservation system, which we used to book appointments the day before we were to travel. We took a taxi to/from the airport for the tests. The testing center is about 50 feet in front of the main terminal. We arrived early, and didn’t have to wait for our appointed times. We were in and out in about 30 minutes with printed copies of our test results in hand. Cost was 20 euro per person. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Also, Italy was using the “Green Pass” app to confirm vaccine status. We had photos of our US CDC vaccine cards on our phones and everyone accepted that instead. We had to show our vaccination card photo for every train ride and meal at a restaurant, among numerous other places. Of course, things COVID are changing frequently, so the truth could change.
Overall we had an amazing experience in Florence, due in large part to Chiara and this apartment. So… Would we chose this property again if we visit Florence? Absolutely.
