From the moment you walk through the huge doors and magnificent gate into the open air portico, you are impressed at the architecture. But walking into the apartment and looking up at several century old frescos on the ceiling is mind blowing! Remarkably spacious apartment (and large bathroom) with every convenience (including a washing machine!!). Really wanted to cook in that well-equipped kitchen, but time was just too short, and there is just too many excellent restaurants (one just across the street), and a block away from an terrfic neighborhood pizza place. The perfect place in a perfect neighborhood. And just a few minutes walk to the river and Uffizi and the Duomo. Thank you, and we hope to be back.
