We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for two weeks! Sergio and Patrizia are great hosts, prompt in communication prior to arrival and very attentive upon arrival. The apartment is charming, clean and well-kept. It is on the ground floor. The garden is beautiful and so quiet and peaceful in a very busy city -- includes fruit trees and even an olive tree. Even during the summer, when temperatures can be very high in Florence, it is still enjoyable during the morning and evening hours. Great shower and comfortable bed. Everything in the kitchen that you need and several grocery stores nearby. Spacious refrigerator -- and ice trays in the freezer! Great seating area in the living room. Piazza San Marco, just a few minutes away (3 blocks) has some of the best quick eateries in town (Pugi and All' Antico Vinaio). Any of these 3 blocks are great to wonder down toward the Duomo. The Accademia (David Statue) is nearby, as well as the central market (shopping market outside, and inside, a food market downstairs and food court upstairs). Florence is a completely walkable city, and no matter where you stay, you will be close to some sites and further from others. There doesn't seem to be a central location. An additional bonus for the location of this apartment, though, is that it is close to the train station, making day trips and overall arrival to and departure from Florence simpler. Would stay here again.
