EMMA & OLGA APARTMENTS -IN THE CITY CENTRE-, Florence

With an excellent location score from past stays, the apartment sits within a quiet neighbourhood yet within easy walking distance of all major attractions. The area offers plenty of restaurants and shops just outside the door, many with better prices than the busiest tourist streets. Transport is straightforward: Florence Airport is 9 km away, and the central station is a 10-minute walk - ideal for rail-based exploration. The property lies inside the ZTL zone, so if arriving by car, park in the large car park opposite the building and ask for a permit to avoid fines.

Both apartments offer a seating area, flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, and a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries. The kitchen is fully equipped with a stovetop, oven, refrigerator, coffee machine, and tea-making facilities; apartment 02 also includes a washing machine. The Olga apartment features two separate bedrooms (one with a double and a single bed, the other with a double sofa bed) - ideal for families or groups of up to six. The Emma apartment has a double bedroom and a double sofa bed in the living room, plus a single bed. Rooms are described as clean, well maintained, quiet, and surprisingly spacious, though beds can be slightly soft and bathrooms are compact. Note the third-floor walk-up (no lift).

The kitchen is fitted with modern appliances - stovetop, oven, refrigerator, toaster, and coffee machine - making it easy to prepare meals. Seven eateries are within 0.5 km, including Trattoria dei 13 Gobbi, Rosticceria Tiburon, Italian, and a Korean restaurant. The neighbourhood offers more affordable options compared to the immediate historic centre, with several cafes and restaurants right below the building. Breakfast supplies can be bought at nearby shops; the apartment provides a good-sized fridge and freezer.

Internet is free in all areas. Key access and smoke alarms are installed for safety. The host communicates clearly via WhatsApp and can organise a self-check-in for flexible arrival times. The apartments are non-smoking throughout. Linen and housekeeping are provided, though no daily cleaning service is included. Other services include an invoice upon request. The only notable absence is on-site parking and luggage storage - use the public car park opposite and nearby deposit services respectively.
