Over the last 15 years I've stayed in 8 VRBO rentals in Florence, and in my view it would be wise to consider Perla Blu for a short or long stay in town. The apartment is clean, neat, comfortable, and very quiet. The location is ideal because a 20 minute walk in any direction would cover every site that is on a normal tourist itinerary. The bedroom is spacious, the bed exceptionally comfortable, and there is plenty of room and hangars for clothes. This is the first place I've stayed that has an elevator, and that deserves several bonus stars. Everything in the apartment worked efficiently, and Angela answered my emails without delay. The shower was great for water temp and pressure, but space for maneuvering is very limited and it is a bit slippery because of the slant of the floor. The kitchen is adequately provisioned. I would be happy to book another stay in this apartment.
