We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Florence is like. They answered...
"Expat homes and apartments in Florence are typically spacious and modern, with high ceilings and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Many of the apartments are located in historic buildings, giving them a unique charm and character. Expat homes and apartments in Florence often come with modern amenities such as air conditioning, high-speed internet, and modern appliances. Many of the apartments also have balconies or terraces, offering stunning views of the city," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Florence, Italy.
"I chose a two bedroom apartment because my 28 year old daughter came with and we wanted our own bedrooms. Plus, we knew we would have relatives and friends come. There was an elevator that maybe half of the apartments have with washer in the unit. Not many houses to rent except maybe in the country," commented one expat who made the move to Florence, Italy.
