I wish we could rate this 6 stars — it was the best part of Florence and made our stay much more enjoyable. Sole’s mother met us at the door and showed us into the apartment. There is an elevator, which is hard to find in Italy and made moving our bags easier. Sole had left us a beautiful bottle of wine from her family vineyard as well as a list of fabulous recommendations and tips. The apartment is much larger than the pictures will lead you to believe, and it is fully air conditioned (!).
The location is also fantastic! Close to shops and right down the street from the Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio.
All in all, highly recommend! You will not regret staying here.
