Lovely apartment perfectly situated and even better than described. We spent all our time that we weren't traipsing all over Florence sitting on the terrace pinching ourselves to make sure that it was all real. Ely met us at Piazza di San Lorenzo and walked us the 3 minutes to our building. The apartment is 4 flights up but we were grateful for the exercise. Even with the miles of walking every day, we were grateful for every opportunity to work off that extra bite of yummy cheese or scoop of gelato! In the photo, the large building looming up in the background is the central market where we provisioned ourselves splendidly from the wide array of fresh fruits and veggies, cheeses, bread, etc. we ended up eating out a few times but our favorite meals were those we cooked ourselves and enjoyed on the terrace. One of my favorite memories of Florence was of just sitting quietlly at the wooden table in the main room looking at the light streaming in over terra cotta roof tiles into the kitchen window, the soft pale green walls, pale blue cabinets and marble sink adding a gentle country feel. It's the kind of place you just might end up feeling homesick for once you leave--we do.
