TOWN CENTER HOLIDAY APARTMENT IN FLORENCE

We lived in this self catrering apartment in May 2011 for 5 nights. The apartment is conveniently located, 10minutes bus ride from the SMN startion. It is a lovely apartment with all facilities.There is a Supermarket nearby, which is very convenient. The owner of the property Silvio is an honest man, who was always ready to help. The apartment is very well presented, spacious enough for a small family. We enjoyed staying in as much as we enjoyed looking around Florence. There is high speed internet at the apartment, which is really handy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Silvio is an outstanding host and a truly kind man. He is extremely helpful and happy from the moment you arrive to the final good bye. You just want to hug him. The apartment is exactly as pictured. It is charming, comfortable and well equipped; you will not be disappointed with this apartment at all. Florence is a very crowded and busy place; this apartment is away from the madness and is a slice of heaven. Enjoy the balcony in the morning for coffee and at night for a quiet glass of wine. You find yourself immersed in the neighborhood as there is everything you need within 2 blocks. The restaurant downstairs from the apartment (Silvio will point it out to you) has great food and good prices; the food is far better than anything we had in the city of Florence. We also truly loved the Pit Stop restaurant right around the corner, probably one of our favorite meals. The bakery is excellent in the morning; the grocery store is across the street and has everything you need. Take the 14 train into Florence from the bus stop at the corner (buy your tickets at the news stand). Returning from Florence to the apartment on the bus is a little tricky, the 14 takes about 45 minutes if you start from the train station, start from the bus stop in the middle of town for your return. Cab fare back is 12 Euro. Do book your tickets in advance for the museums, the lines are brutal, it saved us at least an hour at each museum. I cannot say enough about Silvio and his wonderful apartment, and only wish we had spent more time there. Thank you so much Silvio for starting our vacation so memorably.

We stayed at this apartment for 1 week in April/May 2011.
The location is great, around 4km from the historical center. It is good for people who is traveling with a car, since you can park the car close to the apartment, and at the same time you are very close to the historical center (which is a limited traffic zone).
Silvio is a great host and was very helpful with everything we needed. Great customer service.
There is a supermarket close by and the kitchen is well equipped, so the apartment is good if you plan to cook. There is everything you need close by (e.g., bakery, restaurant, shops, bus stop).
I would recommend this apartment.
