Has anyone ever rented an apartment through the English language newspaper "The Florentine" or the Real Estate Agency Milligan&Milligan? I am trying to find reviews for either but have had no luck. Thank you.
I am also looking for an apartment in Florance as well as Rome and Venice for June o 2015. I use airb&B and Rome Loft and have had no issues when last in Italy when we drove Rt Rome south for three weeks. Looking to go North this time.
I have not used the newspaper or agency that you are asking about.
On my last visit to Florence, this past December, I rented from an agency called Acacia Your Home In Florence. We rented the Peonia 1-bdrm (5 nights), just around the corner from Santa Croce. Friends we referred rented the Gelsomino 1-bdrm (7 nights).
The owner of the agency, Diana Pepi, went out of her way to make our stay very good. Arranging for the rental and for the pick-up of the keys was straightforward. The apt was comfortable, very clean, and well heated. Wi-fi was included.
I'll be renting from her again, as I keep returning to Florence each time that I can find an excuse to... ;-)
Thank you for your replies. We have stayed in Santa Croce and LOVED it. I will look into these suggestions.
