This is a perfectly appointed, sparkling clean apartment outfitted with excellent taste and in a great location to explore, on the south side of the Arno in a less touristy spot but literally steps from the Ponte Vecchio.
Gio was there to meet us, and the instructions were clear and simple. She had every single thing that we needed, with nothing that we didn't. High end touches everywhere - perfectly functioning air conditioners that we could adjust (with gentle reminders to not overdo it), a really nice Smeg fridge, dish towels and coffee, but not half empty boxes of pasta that you sometimes find in an air bnb. Really nice sheets and blankets and pillows, everything so clean, a bookshelf with the right books and nothing extra. Gorgeous shower/ bath, everything new, tasteful, classy. We loved this apartment.
Better for one person or a couple than a parent - child combination but we found ways to split up and explore separately.
Under a mile (just 10-15 min) to scamper to the Giardini or to the top of Piazza Michalangelo which gives the most incredible view of the city. Shops with sandwiches and gelato and groceries all just downstairs.
Florence being a bit grungy and less dressy than some other places we went in Italy, this apartment was spotless and classy. We loved Gio's place and would book this again for sure!
