Overall: Very good. Enjoyed Most: Location in historic district in Florence. View from the apartment verlooking Santa Croce, and the Duomo. Surrounding Area: Easy walking to more local spots for eating, market, and tourist spots were no more than 15 minutes to about anything.The book the property manager left us had great restaurant and wine shop recommendations.The property manager was very helpful on any requests we had. (printing things, etc.) Nearby Events or Locales: Heart of Florence. Everything was walking distance. Tips or Restaurants: Make sure you have credit cards with chips for use in Europe. Also have your PIN handy as many kiosks (train station) require that in order to buy tickets electronically. Directions: Be clear that the entrance is off the piazza Santa Croce (south side). When using Google maps, it shows the building, but it's not clear on where entrance is located. Check In Out: Make sure you set your phone up for international dialing, and know how to dial the number for the property manager when you arrive. (You don't need the country code up front in Italy, but you might need the city code).
