There is a kitchen in the apartment with lots of required equipment. So you may prepare your own food. There is a coffee machine with coffee tablets. The apartment was very clean, there was a very nice smell when we entered the apartment. It is far from the tourist destination, which is fine for us. There are some nice local bars not far from the apartment. There is a nice balcony and garden view. There is a lift in the building which makes carrying the luggage easy. Bed is comfortable, so is sofa. There is a washing machine, which is fine for us. (Although there is only two tablets provided). The entrance of the building is easier than it seems.

Being in a residential area had also some drawbacks. You were expected to be quiet but the residents were not very quiet. The walls were thin. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it suitable for long stay. However, a few basic supplies were missing. There was no oil and salt, for example. I informed them but they only said they were sorry. If you are planning a short stay and intend to cook, this could be an issue if you dont want to buy supplies for just a few days. For example I had to leave most of the butter I purchased. They should develop more quest-friendly ideas for the initial arrival at the house. I wanted to take the bus instead of spending money on a taxi. Christian didnt know which bus goes to the apartment, but she found out quickly. However, I couldn’t find the bus stop after getting off the train station and had to get a taxi. A simple direction such as “Buy a bus ticket from the machine at the station, cross the street, and take the bus 36/37 from the first street, and get off San gaggio da castiglione stop” could have been provided. I found out this on my own but on the second day.Additionally, the street name was given instead of the bus stop name, so we missed the right stop. In short, much clearer information can be provided.

Apartment is cozy, nice and clean however it's located bit far from main entrance (with 2 heavy bags and Parents we felt it far, if you've light luggage and can walk then it's fine). Apartment building has lift. Checkin and Checkout was smooth with Cristina and she was easily reachable during our stay. Amenities were as expected except for couple of things in Kitchen. Property is 2 mins away from closet bus stop and easily reachable from Florence train station. Porta Romana is also nearby and at walkable distance of 5-8 mins . It has grocery stores, restaurants and other bus stops nearby. Other tourist sights are also at walkable distance of 15 mins. Overall we had a good stay.

Kitchen amenities could have been better like - Knife and chopping board was missing, Induction's two burners can't be used at same time on high temperature which was bit annoying and slow; we couldn't figured out it on first day however later on reaching out to Cristina we got to know.

The apartment is beautiful and comfortable, in a very quiet area. Christina, the lady handling it is super helpful and nice. To get to the apartment you need to walk inside the complex quite a bit, for us it was ok, but if yiu have people that cant walk much it is something to consider.

We couldnt use two burners of the kitchen at the same time without it shutting off, and we were told that using oven and kitchen might not work together. We were offered an electritian about the kitchen, but that would mean having to loose some of our time so we didn't get it. We didnt need it that much, but if you are counting on cooking every night it might be an issue.. You could hear the neighbours fromm all sides.. top and next door, their tv, steps, even the dog ones..
