We very much enjoyed our stay in the two-bedroom Casa Sole on Via San Zanobi. The comfortable apartment is located within walking distance of many important historic areas such as the amazing Central Market, the Gallery of the Academy where the famous statue of David resides, and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Lots of excellent restaurants and food markets are a short walk from the building. In general we had good communication with the host, who met us at the door to show us the well-appointed apartment. The bathroom facilities were divided into two separate rooms: a shower room with sink and a bathroom with sink and bidet. Despite the extreme daily heat ( 100 F) in Florence during our visit, the AC worked very well and kept the apartment cool at all times. There was a miscommunication about the apartment washing machine, which appeared to be new and was provided with laundry soap. However, we discovered after starting a load of laundry that the machine was broken and could not complete the wash. There was no signage or indication that the washer was out of service. We had to move our wet clothes to a nearby laundromat, which was somewhat inconvenient. For future guests we recommend checking with management before using the machine as they were not particularly helpful in resolving this situation. The relatively inexpensive apartment is a great value because of its location and comfort, and we recommend staying here.
