Lucia was at the apartment to greet us, and showed us around the apartment. She gave us some suggestions on the map she had prepared on sightseeing which was all appreciated. Lucia was friendly and helpful and we managed to communicate with our limited Italian.
With the summer heat the apartment was well set up with three quiet air conditioners, one in the main king bedroom also with a single bed, and two in the living/ kitchen areas. The apartment was spacious and allowed natural light in through the door and back bedroom windows, being located in the middle of two roads. There was some traffic noise and air stagnation without the windows open for fresh air. It was great to be able to use the washing machine. The apartment location was great, turn left out of the apartment and walk along the river for about fifteen minutes and you will reach Ponte Vecchio and a little further to reach the other attractions. Some great restaurants on the way to the main sightseeing area a few minutes from the apartment. The train station/bus station is an easy ten minute walk with luggage, more direct than the taxi route.
