Apartment Rental Florence Italy: what you need to know.
"...before we booked our Apartment Rental Florence Italy we used some of your suggested checks (the Florence rental agent's office was not near the apartment) we ironed out a few minor details and went ahead and booked. Thanks for the heads up!"
Most people search immediately for a hotel in Florence but an apartment rental in Florence Italy can be money saving, spacious, private, independent, quieter and more convenient.

Luckily for you only a smaller percentage of tourists to Italy and Florence consider renting an apartment, you may find Florence apartment rentals still available in high demand areas and during peak tourist times!
Also consider that eating out frequently at Florence Restaurants can damage the budget, and having your own cooking facilities can be a blessing.
An apartment rental in Florence Italy will, generally speaking, be a lot quieter, more private and certainly more spacious (a major complaint in Italy being the small size of hotel rooms.) |

Apartment Rental Florence Italy: possible information to confirm with your Florence rental agent:
• Air conditioning in Summer months! Florence can get really hot during the summer months with little or no breezes blowing through the centre. Many Florence apartment rentals have them but do you want to be the one without?
• Heat in Winter? December, January and February can chill the bones of the most fanatical Florence tourists too. Do check whether your Florence rental apartment has heating.
Also check who controls the heating? In some apartment blocks in Florence the heating is not controlled by the individual apartments but rather by the "building" and comes on twice a day - mornings and evenings.
Apartment rental Florence Italy: Tips and other things to check:
- Reserve a quiet apartment, and if possible one that does not face any busy streets or squares (although quiet apartments in Florence are the exception rather than the rule.)
- If you intend to try out those newly learned Florentine recipes confirm how complete the cooking facilities are?
- Is there enough light in the apartment?
- If you need to make regular phone calls check that the apartment has a land line.
- If you have a late flight into Florence check whether there are extra charges for meet up and key collection after working hours?
- How often are the apartments maintained/cleaned and the linen and towels changed?
- NB: How far is the apartment from the rental agent's office?
- Do you meet at your Florence rental apartment or at the rental agent's office? (You'll be surprised how many times folks think they're meeting at the apartment when instead they meet at the office.)
- If you meet at the rental agent's office do they then provide transport to the apartment? (This is generally not the case in Italy).
- Finally, ask the Florence agent to confirm all of your enquiries (and information not on their web site) in writing!
