We spent 5 nights in the mezzanine apartment and found it was the perfect home base from which to explore Florence. The apartment is clean and bright, offers a great view of the piazza and had plenty of space for the two of us. Amenities we enjoyed; a basic kitchen with a small fridge, gas range and cookware, large comfortable bed with extra bedding, a washing machine and drying rack (comes in very useful when packing light).
Our trip coincided with the Florence Jazz Festival so there were concerts in the piazza 3 nights in a row. We were thrilled to sit by the window overlooking the concert and enjoy the music with a glass of wine. That being said, with the windows closed the sound from the piazza below was still audible. A fan in the bedroom helped to cancel some street noise and we found the noise level easily tolerable.
The location of the apartment is ideal for it's proximity to all the attractions including the Duomo, Uffizi gallery, Pitti palace and the Ponte Vecchio. And when we were feeling a little less adventurous piazza della Passera had everything we needed just steps away. There is fantastic gelato, Tuscan vegetarian food, the perfect cafe for a morning espresso and multiple great spots for aperitivo. We enjoyed grabbing a drink in the evening and sitting on a bench in the piazza to people watch. An easy outing from the apartment is a walk to Piazza Michaelangelo to enjoy a drink while watching the sunset over the city. Wow!
Our interactions with both Guiditta and Andrea were pleasant and informative. We both highly recommend a visit to Florence and a stay at their apartment.
