LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! You won't find a more central apartment--everything is at your doorstep. The apartment is new, with all the conveniences you need from home. Barbara and her team were super responsive, very kind, and even left some Easter chocolate for our kids which was so thoughtful. We arrived by car, and parked RIGHT next door to the apartment (literally the apartment is above the parking garage) which was convenient. Two things to note: if traveling with smaller kids and you require a stroller, there are long narrow stairs leading from the street up to the apartment which you'll need to carry the stroller (and kids) up each time (but this wasn't an issue for us), and also because the apartment is so central there will be some noise at night from the street (but this was worth the location for us!). Barbara was also kind enough to reserve us a table in the Chianti countryside for Easter with a table overlooking the rolling Tuscan hills--an unforgettable experience! Overall we had an excellent stay in this apartment and are so grateful for such hospitality. Thank you Barbara!
