What an amazing apartment! From the moment we stepped in the door we were charmed by this beautiful, spacious apartment, filled with history, art, and culture...a perfect reflection of the city in which it is located. The apartment was much bigger than we expected which lots of space for our family of 5 (including 3 kids from 7-14) to spread out and be comfortable, including three large bedrooms, a huge living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and 2 full bathrooms. The many books and antique furniture, along with the high ceilings, long marbled hallway and huge rooms made for a wonderful stay in this grand apartment. Despite the high temperature outside, the space remained comfortable and the fans they provided were helpful. The large private garden with its trees and shade also provided a lovely space to relax. Having access to gated private parking so close to the city center was certainly a bonus. There were so many thoughtful details in the apartment, including umbrella, shopping trolley, shampoo, tourist info, travel guide, etc. The kitchen and dining room were fully equipped and we even had access to spices, oil, vinegar, etc. On top of all this, the main tourist sites were all within walking distance. We recommend walking along Via Pietrapiana, a charming street nearby with local restaurants and shops that leads to the main sites. Keep an eye out for Il Procopio, a small and fantastic gelateria along that street. Duccio was a wonderful host who provided quick and helpful answers to any questions and made us feel completely welcome in this beautiful home. We highly recommend this airbnb as a great place to stay during your visit to Florence/Firenze.
