UFFIZI APARTMENT AT 30m FROM THE UFFIZI GALLERY! (#38205)

October 2009

Sending deposit money through a wire transfer is never an easy thing to do on sight unseen property, but I'm so glad we did. This rental was a walk into another world, the world of Florence in centuries past. The charm and romance of it was worth far more than what we paid for our 6 day stay and the owner was lovely. She gave us an exhaustive list of everything in the neighborhood and it was well worth reading for her recommendations on everything from gelato, to convenience stores; I could have left my guidebook at home. Florence is a great city to make daytrips from, but never affordable for that purpose until now with Uffizi Apartment. As a frequent traveler to Italy I have finally found the perfect home base for discovering more of Tuscany. As a passionate cook, it was a thrill for me to be able to shop for a home made meal in Florence. Rossella also provided information on local stores and the large outdoor markets, so my cooking fantasy came true, but she also suggested Trattoria Antica Fattore just around the corner from the apartment and the food there was remarkably authentic and of excellent quality. I cannot think of a better way to thank our hostess than to let other people know that this was one of the best travel experiences of my life; I hope to return for an even longer stays in the years to come. If the idea of a deposit for utilities is uncomfortable, don't worry, our cost was under 10 euros and the friend who suggested we rent it paid less than 15.
