Florence Testimonials
November 2009
Good morning,
We enjoyed our stay in Florence very much 18
Living in Florence . The apartment was in a
great location in the old part of the city near Sante
Croce church. We were delighted to find the modern, updated
and quiet apartment with all the amenities of home. It was
a nicely furnished apartment with ample space for 4 people.
We liked the modern kitchen with the red cabinets and the neat
retractable skylight. In a busy part of town for tourists and
students, the apartment was quiet with bedroom windows overlooking
a small courtyard. We would recommend the apartment to our
friends and family travelling to Florence. The local representative,
Adrianna was extremely helpful, personable, attentive, and
friendly. She helped us in the retrieval of lost luggage, finding
a grocery store, met us later that originally anticipated due
to a missed train, making great restaurant tips, and more.
We found your company easy to work with and liked the fact
you posted pictures of the apartments online.
We mentioned to Adrianna that the owner of the apartment might
consider installing ceiling fans as it would help with air
circulation in the place without having to run the air conditioning.
Thank you again,
Sincerely, Alexia

Our stay at 5 Piazza
Duomo Apartments was very enjoyable. The accommodations
were nice and clean. The Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Nice location with many restaurants and shops. Would definitely
stay there again and would recommend to friends.

First of all
I would like to tell that Florence is
the most lovely and majestic place on earth. I was there for
several times but it was first time I spent my holidays there
in apartment and not in hotel room.
Tell
the truth this is different and you have feeling that you are
not a guest or tourist, but inhabitant of the city.
The 9
Arno Apartments is really comfortable
and lovely place to stay. Staff is worm, helpful and benevolent.
Location is nice and gives you opportunity to walk as distance
to main squares of city is about 15 minutes away. This
I like most because streets of
Florence,
mainly unknown streets are worth to see.
The apartment
was clean, bright and worm. I thought it would be small as
it was studio, but it was really of moderate size. Kitchenette
was equipped of any kind of sufficient item.
The only
thing I would have change – the size of shower box J.
Thank
you for having wonderful time in Florence

This was my first time in Florence and I was
pleasantly surprised by this apartment. 9
Arno Apartments It’s not a hotel type
of place, it’s an actual apartment complex. When we first
arrived I was unaware that we had to buzz the front door in
order to get service. That scared me a little bit. You might
want to instruct your customers of that in the future. But,
once I figured it out, it was awesome. The girl in the office
spoke perfect English and was most helpful with sight seeing
places and directions and helped arrange tours.
We had requested a studio apartment but was pleasantly surprised
when we checked into a 2 bedroom. The unit was right on the
corner so we had a perfect view of the river from the bedroom
window and a street with a large column from the kitchen. It
was a very good location for walking to all the major sights
in Florence and it was easy to get back to and not get lost
because it was right on the river.
Thanks for all your help in getting my rooms arranged in both
Rome and Florence. I will most definitely use your service
again and will recommend you to all my travelling friends!
Regards
Cindy

Good Morning
We spent a week in Florence in April of 08 at the 9
Arno Apartments on the Arno River. Our
accommodations were perfect for my sister and I. The
staff of the apartment building were most helpful on many levels. The
apartment was clean and very secure. As it is on the
corner of a busy intersection, we did have some traffic noise
(mostly sirens) on one particular night, but nothing too disturbing.
We would like to suggest that a bus schedule be placed in the
apartment along with the other information left for us. As
we were located on several major bus routes, that would have
been most helpful. One never really KNOWS what you are
getting when booking online, but I would not hesitate to use
your services again in Florence or any other city that you
have listed. The process was easy, the studio apartment
fit our needs perfectly, and the staff at the residence was
most helpful. Thank you for making our Florence trip
so memorable.

13 Apartments San
Lorenzo was an excellence choice. The location
is superb, staff was very courteous, and the apartment
was very nice. It was extremely spacious and the terraces
overlooking the city were spectacular. There were some
very small red spiders on the terracotta of the balcony
that made it difficult to sit outside (might want to look
into that) and the toilet seat in one of the bathrooms
was broken making it "dangerous" to use. Otherwise
very nice apartment and I would definitely stay there again
on a future trip.

Dear Martyn,
We absolutely loved our stay at 5 Piazza
Duomo Apartments. The property was even better than
we imagined and the staff were faultless. They were so friendly
and helpful. My daughter wrote a thank you letter for their
visitors book.
The service provided by your company has also been excellent.
All queries were answered immediately and we checked in to
the apartments with ease.
The pictures on your internet site, do not do the property
justice. Maybe you could show some photos of the lovely private
courtyard.
Thank you for providing us with a wonderful place to stay in
Florence.

Dear Mr Lawson,
I am more than pleased to give some feedback about 16 Florence
Apartment Suites, Florence.
We very much enjoyed our stay in Florence, the apartment being
very central for our needs.
Ms Karima was extremely helpful in staying and waiting for
our arrival. She was also very helpful with answers to our
questions ! We found the accommodation to be clean and comfortable,
the Beds being especially good ! We found the Kitchen area
a little short of preparation space, but we could have moved
a Table nearer ! The facilities were very good, such as the
TV and Laundry and the Lift. On a point of comment, the shower
head in the main Bathroom is in need of attention but did not
stop us using it ! Also, we arrived with TWO people not present,
so there were only FOUR of us.
We four felt that if the other two had been with us, it would
have been uncomfortable for them as their room had no real
storage for clothes, such as a Wardrobe.
Other than that, we very much enjoyed our stay and I , personally,
found the the whole booking process through your Company to
be very easy and a pleasurable experience. Thank you for giving
us a good experience whilst in Florence !
Regards, Chris Burstow.

Dear Mr. M Lawson / Ms. H Beneats,
Good day, I am now back in Malaysia and would like to take
this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for all
the efforts made by ‘apartments2book.com’
to ensure that all my accommodation requirements were satisfied.
Accordingly the accommodation arrangements in 5 Piazza
Duomo Apartments & UK were of an
exceptionally high quality, with excellent customer service
and the locations of each respective apartment was very strategic.
All in all, I look forward to a continued business relationship
with your esteemed company.
Furthermore, I am much obliged for the discounted accommodation
rates.
Thus, please be informed that I have recommended your company
to my relative Naomi Haque and would be grateful if you can
extend the same level of courtesy and efficiency with her bookings
in the future. More so, I shall have no qualms to recommend
you to other members of my family, friends and business associates.
Wishing you all the best for 2008.
Kind regards,
Kamrul .

We stayed at the 21
Via Condotta Apartments for three nights. We felt
that it was a well appointed apartment, nicely furnished,
well located, clean and comfortable.
We would recommend it to other travellers.
Florence was colder than we had envisaged so it took us a while
to get some heating sorted out but once we did this it was
fine. I'm sure that in warmer times it would be nice to sit
out on the balcony and enjoy the view.
The staff were friendly - the two that we met didn't speak
English but this wasn't a problem as we worked out what needed
to be done!
Our 200 Euro deposit was returned without any fuss.
The only thing to watch is that for any visitors who have trouble
with stairs there are several flights that need to be navigated
leading up to and after leaving the lift. The lift itself is
a bit of an adventure - possibly a contender for the slowest
lift in the world but this added to the charm of the place.
The apartment was between the Duomo and the Ufizi and everything,
including the Ponte Veccio, was within good walking distance.
We walked to and from the station as well.

We had an excellent stay at the 7
Firenze Apartments in Florence. It is right in the
heart of the city, with a beautiful view of the square and
Duomo. All of the museums and churches are a short walk from
this location. The apartment was very clean and well maintained,
and the staff friendly and helpful. There was some music
and noise in the square until about 2 in the morning, but
we were able to close the window shutters to block it if
we wanted. Also, if you plan to wash clothing, I would recommend
finding a Laundromat in the city rather than the hotel's
service, it can be very expensive , as we found out. I recommend
this apartment to anyone who wants to be in centre of all
the attractions, and I will definitely stay here again.
Thank you again

Hello there! Yes, my husband and I very much
enjoyed our stay in 3 Spirito
Apartments It was just when the weather began to really
heat up and we REALLY appreciated the air conditioning! It
was a very nice apartment - but I would make a couple of suggestions:
the quilt/throw on the bed could look a bit cleaner or newer
and we could have used some washing up liquid and a washing
up brush. We were only there for 3 nights so it wasn't worth
us buying that kind of thing. Oh, and maybe a larger coffee
maker - it only did one tiny espresso at a time!
The staff were very pleasant and helpful - we would recommend
it to our friends!

Thank you for your email. I have only positive
things to say about the apartment. It was large, clean, 3 Spirito
Apartments reasonably priced and the position
was just amazing. The staff were very friendly and the
service of answering my emails and all queries was always very
quick. I recommend this apartment to anyone considering a trip
to Florence. Well done to you and your staff!!!!

Hi
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the apartment, although it
was more like a hotel with the maid service. Staff were friendly
and very helpful. It might be an idea to have some more information
on local restaurants/bars/activities available but that is
not a criticism at all. I would recommend the
5 Piazza Duomo Apartments and
apartments2book and hope to use you again soon.
Many Thanks

Ciao
3 Spirito
Apartments is on balance a very good place and
a reasonable price. The staff was very helpful, the location
on the Oltroarno interesting and convenient but not too
hectic as some in the Centro are. There is a wonderful
view of the back of S, Spirito. I would have preferred
a double (queen) bed, but it was fine, My only real complaints
are with the mosquitoes who came wandering in during the
unusually warm days and stayed all night. Perhaps providing
some device that takes care of them would assure a better
nights sleep; Aside from that I will highly recommend the
place to anyone in the future.
A presto

Dear Angie
Sorry about the huge delay in replying. 9 Arnon Apartments was absolutely
excellent with Mr Paul a very attentive and helpful manager.
It is very well situated being within walking distance of
most of the places we wished to visit. The apartment was
beautifully appointed, clean and well serviced. We would
unreservedly recommend it to anyone wanting a holiday in
Florence.

We were very happy, at 13 Apartments San
Lorenzo in Florence is located at the heart of the city
and the accommodations and the service were great. the apartments
was very comfortable, we recommend to anyone visiting Florence.
We definitely go back again.

Hello! 18 Living in Florence The
apartment was quite comfortable, GREAT location, very congenial
landlord. We would certainly recommend it to friends who
could negotiate the stairs--not so many (maybe 25), but the steepness
of them was a challenge.
1. Although there was a small TV/VCR, the
landlord explained that it was not connected to any cable or
satellite and was only for viewing videos. Since my
husband and I speak Italian, we were disappointed.
2. There was no soap or toilet
paper in the bathroom. One roll of TP and at
least a small hotel-sized soap should have been supplied.
Regarding your services: very helpful
and convenient We will recommend your service to others.

Mr Lawson I loved the apartment.18 Living
in Florence It was clean and comfortable
and I enjoyed my home away from home. Also
in a great location - close enough to all the
sites, shopping, and transportation, yet
tucked away on a quiet alley and removed from
the noise of the city.
I mentioned to the property manager upon checkout
regarding the faulty light switch - it is stuck and
does not toggle anymore. Just bringing it up
to make sure it gets addressed. Also worth
mentioning is the big pot I found in the hutch by
the door (still there). It had been horribly
misused, before i got there, and is beyond
all cleaning and repair. You may wish to replace
it. Thank you for the apartment I will be in contact
soon about reserving for next year!
Sincerely,

We had a wonderful stay in Florence, 5 Piazza
Duomo Apartments the duplex apartment
was First Class having been converted very tastefully.
We were right in the centre of the city, just minutes from
the market and with all the hussle bustle in the street
outside. Once inside the complex it was a wonderful
peaceful atmosphere, with a lovely courtyard to relax in,
and parking space.
I would not hesitate to use aparments2 book again.
Thanks Margaret

I very much enjoyed the apartment.18
Living in Florence The only trick was making the initial
connection to get the key. Since I did not fly into Florence;
I did not have a European cell phone; Infernio was not listed
on a map; and the actual door was a bit of luck to find. My suggestion
would be to provide a detailed map (PDF) with contact numbers.
I plan to use your services in the near future. Thank you, Ken

9 Arnon Apartments is nice little
building located on a charming place nearby the Arno river;
we lodged in a lovely apartment which overlooks a typical
tower of Toscane on one side, and the Arno river on the other
side.
This apartment is located at the first floor with lift, decorated,
clean with all modern conveniences; any park places for cars
are available if necessary in a closed private space.
9 Arnon
Apartments is well situated, about ten minutes on foot
to the very centre of the historical city and not very far
from well supplied “supermarket". We are grateful
to the caretaker for his welcome, the information's we got
from him about Florence and its surroundings all along our
stay. In short, we have spent lovely holidays, we will
never forget.

Mr. Lawson,
I am responding to your request for feedback on our rental
at the 18 Living in Florence at Via Della
Pergola in Florence.
In general, we were quite satisfied with the apartment and
the service provided. The apartment manager Adriana was very
helpful and friendly, and the apartment was essentially as
advertised. All in all, I would stay there again and use your
service again.
One small qualm. Some parts of the building and other apartments
in the building were undergoing renovation. While the workers
were quite courteous, there was a bit more noise -- banging
and power tools -- than one would consider normal. I felt that
we should have been told this beforehand, and some accommodation
should have been made in cost of the rental.
Again, that's a small qualm and wouldn't prevent me from renting
the same apartment again and using your service. But I thought
I should mention it.
Thank you,
James Giuliano

Dear Martyn, The apartment 13 Apartments San
Lorenzo in Florence was well positioned from a tourist's
point of view. We found the immediate access to cafes
and restaurants, sightseeing and shopping to be extremely beneficial. We
also found the on-site manager to be most courteous and
helpful. Thank you for an enjoyable stay at your apartment. For
constructive criticisms: (1) required building repair
work in the one bedroom. (2) The Master bedroom with ensuite
bathroom had the two single beds, so that my husband and
I had to use the second bedroom that had a double bed and
the bathroom in the hall. I think you should swap this around. We
would have no problem using your service again, either in Florence
or elsewhere. Sorry for this late reply. Wendy O'Keefe Queensland,

was of a lower standard.

We stayed in 5 Piazza Duomo Apartments in
Florence from October 8th to 13th, 2005. Our suite
was very spacious and clean. One of the best things,
we think, is the staff. They are absolutely fabulous.
Every morning we got new maps showing us the best route for
the places we wanted to walk that particular day. They
were always so friendly. 5 Piazza
Duomo Apartments is
in such a central location that we walked everywhere
we went, except for the hop on hop off bus. There is a great restaurant
right next door. It's so close to all the tourist places
we wanted to see and to great shopping in the little
shops and the open markets. If we ever come back to
Florence, we would stay here again. Thanks for great
memories.

I found no problems navigating around the website. Your replies
were prompt & when I needed copies of booking confirmation
they were quickly sent. Thank you.
As others have commented, clearer directions from the station
to the various locations would be helpful.
We stayed in property 5 Piazza
Duomo Apartments for 5 nights. We thoroughly
enjoyed our stay & were pleasantly surprised by the quiet
location, the facilities (microwave, large fridge, & cooker), & the friendly & helpful
staff. Excellent value compared to hotels. Some tips
for future users: There's a small cafe just 4 or 5 doors up
to the left as you walk onto Via Faenza that we found
to be useful for a breakfast coffee
&
croissant (or whatever) & cheaper than anywhere further
into town. Friendly welcome, clean, & also stocks
the basics - bread, milk,
preserves, beer, wine. We didn't try the larger one further
up. If you are arriving at S.M.Novella station, it's
less than 400m to the apartment. We
found that turning left up Via Valfonda from the station & then
taking the first right t to join Via Faenza (where you
turn right again), was a much quieter & easier route than
taking the Via Nazionale, past Via Fiume, & turning left
up Via Faenza. There's a good traditio! nal trattoria virtually
next door (rt as you walk onto the street) with good
food, friendly staff. Can also recommend Le Fonticine about
100m left on Via Nazionale. Will definitely stay here
again if we return.

Dear Martyn,
We loved both the Rome 4 The Palatine
Hill and
the Florence 5 Piazza Duomo Apartments accommodations.
The staff at both places were quite helpful and did everything
they could to make our stay more enjoyable. We even moved furniture
from 1 room to another so we could all have dinner together
in Florence. The Florence staff even special ordered croissants
every morning for us. We thought the breakfast in Rome was
a bit high; Florence was quite reasonable. Our only suggestion
would be to provide a detailed map or directions with the exact
location of the hotel. We had booked a night in Venice through
another company and they even had restaurant suggestions along
with very detailed directions. We would certainly recommend
your website to anyone and we were very pleased with the caliber
of the apartments. Thank you so much for all the trouble you
took to make sure we would be in the same hotels as my brother.
I really appreciated you thoroughness. Thank you again.

It is with great pleasure to say thank you for such a lovely
stay at the 5 Piazza Duomo Apartments The
owners were very friendly and made us feel so at home. The apartment
was lovely and for the price it was even better. The location
is within walking distance to everything and we felt so secure.
The apartment is also very quite. Which for me is a big thing
as I am a very light sleeper. My only wish though was
that we could have stayed longer. I would highly recommend
this apartment
to all. I want to Thank you again for making our visit to your
lovely city so memorable.

The 3 Spirito
Apartments. in Florence was an absolute delight. The
owner and the reception staff were so helpful and friendly
- as indeed were all the staff. The apartment
was lovely with a small but adequate balcony and the view
over gardens towards Santo Spirito was wonderful. We
thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Florence. We
found the city quite magical, but it was so nice to be
able to get south of the river and away from the city centre
bustle in the evening. The Oltrarno was
a perfect place for us to stay - surrounded by locals and
with lots of interesting workshops, markets, restaurants,
bars, etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending
your company or 3 Spirito
Apartments. We had a truly wonderful
time, thank you.

Dear Mr. Lawson,
Sorry for answering late – it had been a rather busy
time within the last days… All I have to say is that
I felt very content with my booking at your agency – everything
went fast and worked out without problems. The apartment 18
Living in Florence was great as described and located
superbly in the very centre of town.
So thank you for everything – I can only recommend your service.
Yours sincerely,

My stay at t 18 Living
in Florence 2 was
excellent. The location was extremely convenient,
within walking distance to everything worth seeing in Old
Florence. The markets were close by, so I frequently
cooked out of the kitchen in the apartment and saved allot
of money - while enjoying foods that the locals eat. I
also saved time and money by using the washing machine
attached to the apartment. The Apartment is very
quiet, air-conditioned, and couldn't have been more pleasant. The
bathroom was clean and spacious. I very highly recommend
staying . It was wonderful for me.

We loved our stay at 5 Piazza Duomo
Apartments Firenze. The flat itself was
beautiful, spacious, and well-appointed. It is centrally
located and yet very quiet because it it set around an
inner courtyard. The family that owns and manages it were
absolutely delightful and hospitable. They have done an
outstanding job renovating this residence, which was originally
a printing press (ask to see the renovation photos). We
would highly recommend this accommodation and the price
was quite reaseasonable compared to that of a hotel. A
real find.
Many thanks!

Sir,
5 Piazza Duomo Apartments was
quite decent and the level of service and courtesy were quite
correct. I cannot think of any obvious suggestions to improve
it.
It would be nice to have something similar in places like Rome
or Venice, where we were less lucky with respect to price/quality
ratio - this is not the fault of your company.

Dear Mr Lawson,
Thanks for asking. The accommodation was fine 3 Spirito
Apartments. but we heavily missed a coffee maker or
at least a coffee pot with a filter to make some coffee. All
we found was a little espresso maker that was so tiny that
we could not even make one normal sized cup of coffee.
The lady at the reception was very kind and helpful.
So everything was fine (besides the coffee maker) and I certainly
will enlist your services again when I need an accommodation
abroad.
Best regards

Dear Mr Lawson
I would like to acknowledge the assistance I received from
Claudia. She was very courteous and helpful. Reserving the
apartment was "painless". We were pleasantly surprised when
we arrived at the 3 Spirito
Apartments. The unit
had an incredible view of the Santo Spirito Church and was
just as it was advertised on your website. the staff were
very courteous and accommodating. It was a delight to reside
in a neighbourhood and sample the lifestyle of a "Florentine".
The location was superb the neighbourhood allowed us to interface
with the locals away from popular tourist area's. I would
not hesitate to recommend your service to anyone and I will
definitely seek your assistance when travelling again.
Thank you very much and have a blessed holiday season

Thank you very much for your message enquiring about our stay
at 9 Arnon Apartments in Florence
recently. The apartment was beautiful and spacious and well-equipped.
The icing was the terrace on the roof which had a sublime view.
Your staff at the Residence were very courteous and helpful.
We will stay only at this Residence on our future visits.

Hi Martyn
Well we enjoyed Florence very much staying at the 3 Spirito
Apartments. The apartment was in a nice cool
quiet street, and there was a lovely view of the church. Location
was great. not too far from the city centre, and really
close to our favourite nightclub! The apartment itself
was a good size, just what we wanted really.
Staff were friendly and helpful. The only thing that would
be of help, would be some washing-up liquid for the kitchen.
We were only there for a few days and didn't feel like buying
a whole bottle to do our few dishes.. we ended up using the
shower gel provided... but I think it would help keep the place
tidier.
That's all I can think of for now
Thanks

Aloha Martin,
We were very pleased with the 1 Apartments Piazza
Della Liberta in Florence, and found the staff to be
very helpful and professional in their service. The deluxe
studio apartment was perfect in size, amenities, and extremely
quiet. A very important factor for us when travelling.
On one occasion there was construction noise next door after
5:00 pm, so my husband voiced his concern to the manger about
this work going on into the evening. She promptly took care
of notifying the property owner, who halted the work and noise.
After that, there wasn't a problem.
We also found the location to be convenient to shops, historical
sights, bus stops and an excellent restaurant was almost next
door. After a long day of sightseeing, to have such a nice
place to dine so close by was really a god send. We also appreciated
the convenient send out laundry service handled through the
front desk, reasonably priced and very good service. This property
is first rate, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to
others.
Thank you for the follow up and all your help in booking this
reservation. I'll be sure to check out your accommodations
for future travel. Please keep me posted on additional properties
your company handles.

Dear Mr. Lawson,
I just want to let you know that my stay at the 3 Spirito
Apartments Apartment in Florence, Italy was completely
satisfactory. It was arranged by your reservation agent
called Claudia De Filippo. She arranged the
apartment within two days, which I was very amazed with your
speedy internet booking. I loved the nice terrace/balcony
over looking the S. Spirito Church and garden as per picture
on your web site. There was a small minor mis-understanding
of a booking fee that was deducted by the Resident and with
one phone call to Claudia, she straightened it out right away
for me within one day.
The owner Mr. Luca Antonucci and Ms. Christina Focardi, the
manager were very helpful and hospitable. Even
the maid was courteous and helpful, which all made my stay
very enjoyable.
Thank you and I will sure use your services again in the future.
Yours truly,

Martyn,
I recently staying in the penthouse apartment
at 13 Apartments
San Lorenzo and
was most impressed. The bedrooms and washrooms were larger
and better equip then I anticipated and the terrace views of
the Duomo just don’t get any better.
he concierge “Alberto” was very helpful and I had
the fullest confidence that when he said he would make an arrangement
for us it would get done.
My only complaints were the cleaning staff only visited our
apartment 1 out of the 3 days we stayed and the elevator was
broken on our last day so we had to carry our luggage down
7 flights of stairs upon departure.
I would definitely stay at Palazzo Gamba again and will highly
recommend it to friends. It is one of the most beautiful apartments
in Florence and a great value as well.
Thanks you for helping with arrangements.

5 Piazza Duomo Apartments is
an excellent place to stay. The rooms are on two levels and
our unit had a vaulted ceiling that made you feel like you
were staying
at a grand Palazzo. The staff was great, very pleasant and
very helpful. There was a good feeling of security and safety
for yourself and your family. The location is walk able to all
interesting places not to mention easy access for places to eat,
buy groceries at the Mercado (which is only 3 blocks away) and
shopping. The 'small bar' around the corner is the best place
in town for a café latte Porto via! I really I liked
this place It was a pleasant surprise to find this over the
internet and have it work out so well. I would stay there again
any time.

I'm sorry we didn't give you feedback sooner. We had a wonderful
holiday in 12 Oltrarno Apartments. The
apartment looked exactly like it had in the photo on your
website and we thought that the price was very good value.
The room was always clean and well equipped and we loved
having use of the shared garden. The proprietor was polite
and friendly as well as being very helpful and we will definitely
stay there again if we return to Florence.
Thank you

We had a lovely time The apartment 5 Piazza
Duomo Apartments Florence is in a perfect location,
we could walk anywhere and everywhere. If you have a car it
is locked behind doors at night. The apartment is actually
big and very comfortable with everything you need (except maybe
a microwave but not that important). The owner was extremely
nice and helpful. Perfect place we really enjoyed it! In fact
we are thinking of going back this summer!

Hi Martyn,
Nice to hear from you. We just got back from our Month long
trip to Italy and planned on writing to you.
We were very pleased with both accommodations that you arranged
for us. The Florence place 3 Spirito
Apartments was absolutely stupendous. We could not
have asked for more. The apartment was clean, the kitchen was
adequate and the unit was serviced daily and, the location
just perfect. The view from the balcony was unbelievable with
the outlook to San Spirito church and gardens being just super.
Lots of swallows and the church bells ringing (not to much)
made the place a joy to live in. The staff at the apartment
were very helpful and willing. We have nothing but good
words for the experience. The location was just what we needed
with everything within a ten to fifteen minute walk. We had
a wee hiccup when leaving but, it was our fault and we managed
to catch our train to Rome on time. I recommend this spot.
All in all, a very good experience dealing with you and apartments2book
I will spread the good word.
What do you have for Dublin Ireland?
Thanks again Martyn. Best regards,
Peter Kelly
