Great apartment, location, and host
The apartment was great and 100% consistent with the photos in the listing. Everything worked and the apartment was clean and well equipped.
The apartment is on the 5th floor and while I used the stairs to work off pasta and gelato, there's an elevator if you're not so inclined. The apartment is quiet at night and I found the bed pretty comfortable. There's A/C and heating, but I never had to use either as the temperature was near perfect when I was there. WiFi is reliable and fast. There were the typical mosquitos you find in Florence, but plug-in repellant devices are provided and were effective in keeping the pests away while I slept.
The apartment is located in a great area with a lot of locals, as well as students from a nearby university. Heading towards the Duomo on Via dei Servi, there's a lot of great restaurants and shops, including a market. The Duomo is only a five or so minute walk and in the piazza SS. Anunziata, there's a taxi stand which was really convenient on my departure. Just a few doors down from the apartment is a small caffe with great cappucino and a friendly owner that speaks a little english.
The terrace is amazing - great for soaking up the incredible view and sounds of the neighborhood.
HouseFlo was great and very responsive before and during my stay. When I return to Florence, this will be my first choice.
