As with much of Italy nowadays, Florence is a city where hotels are both expensive and generally crowded. As a consequence, self catering apartments have started to crop up more and more frequently and this has led to a refreshing change from the usual boring choices of accommodation.
Just as you find with hotels, apartments are now also being subjected to the opinions of past customers through online review sites. This is perfect for anyone who may be trying to decide between a few different alternatives and means that they can plug for the one that people have rated as the highest.
When you see certain apartments Florence that are continually receiving the highest possible marks - this may be an excellent thing, but it may also start to ring alarm bells in your head. Carefully read the reviews to make sure they are not duplicitous in any way; if you suspect that the owners of the apartment have posted them, ignore this apartment and try to find another that seems more convincing.
Florence is not the largest city in the world but as it has been a major draw for tourists for hundreds of years, it is well geared up to provide ample accommodation. At least now, with the help of online review sites, you have the facility where you can rate them before you travel.
