Overall: We really had a great time and a great stay and no complaints whatsoever. I would happily stay there again, especially since it took me almost a week to find my way around Florence's maze of streets. Loved the city, the food, everything! Enjoyed Most: The kitchen was very well equipped; the apartment was in excellent condition and extremely clean; the bed was very comfortable; and the location couldn't have been better, central yet quiet -just what was needed for a great sleep after a long day of walking and museums and shopping. Enjoyed Least: The mosquitoes that seemed to show up in the evening. Surrounding Area: Everything! 5 minutes to the Duomo, 10 minutes to the Ponte Vecchio, 15 minutes to the Palazzo Pitti. And the designer clothing stores were great for window shopping. We had the best of locations. Tips or Restaurants: The staff were very helpful as was the small bundle of tourist info in the apartment. Cannot recommend the Prada outlet tour enough!. A salad spinner and larger cutting board would have been nice, but aside from that the kitchen was well equipped. We rented a car for a day to see Greve and San Gimignano, and we can't suggest strongly enough the benefits of renting from the Airport! The highway is right there and for the 30 Euros it cost us to get back and forth it was well worth the aggravation saved from trying to navigate the streets in Florence. Restaurants- Omero, Del Fagioli, and Trattoria Mario were all standouts. Directions: Really all you need in Florence is the address and a taxi, especially when it is your first time.
