We are headed to Florence last week of June / 1st week of July with a family of 6. Given that we are 6 persons, it seems to make sense to rent an apartment. Can anyone recommend an apartment that is clean, not too hot, and with parking (we'll have a rental)? Any feedback appreciated...best jfm.

trying again...can anyone help?

I'm not sure if they have apartments for six, but try www.sleepinginflorence.com

You could also take a look at the reviews on www.slowtrav.com

We had great luck with homelidays.com last year. We rented 3 apartments in 3 locations, all turned out great. The apt we had in Florence was the best, but 2 bedrooms, probably not big enough for you. However, they have a great search engine to help you narrow down choices. We really enjoyed staying in the Santa Croce area.

thanks, all for your feedback. i think we have something nailed down finally. best, jfm.
