Florence!!!

The apartment is spacious and clean. It is a short walk to the train station and within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, neighborhoods and historic sights. The pictures are a good representation of how the apartment really looks. Riccardo met us at the apartment and showed us around and answered any questions we had…easy check in.

Comfortable and convenient

We stayed here for a week during spring break and had a wonderful time. The apartment is so close to the train station and many cute restaurants and coffee shops. The beds were so comfortable! That is always my biggest worry but thankfully they were perfect.

Very nice flat with plenty of room

Riccardo let us check in early so we didn’t have to drag our luggage around on our first day! The apartment was very roomy and nicely appointed. The location is so convenient to SMN station and the Duomo complex! The antique furniture was comfortable and inviting. The large windows were so romantic, though there’s not really a view. Still, the breezes were wonderful and there were both Italian and American coffee makers! We enjoyed both!

Florence in February

Our stay was wonderful. Riccardo was very friendly and helpful. The apartment is clean and very comfortable. It located in a great location near to the Santa Novella train station, the tram stop that is there, and a short walk to the central market. The area was very quiet. I would book it again for sure.
