We were lucky enough to be the first people to stay in this lovely apartment. Barbara and her husband Maurizio could not have been more helpful and were keen to make sure our stay was a pleasurable one.
The apartment was plenty big enough for us and our two children (aged 3 and 4) and the kids loved eating at the breakfast bar.
There is not an oven or microwave but the kitchen has a four gas burner hot plate and we had no need for anything else.
The shower is fantastic!
The apartment has been newly renovated and all furniture is new also.
The area is only a short walk into central Florence with the main sights and a tiny stroll to the station and the river so was great for us.
We felt very safe in the area and there is a number of mini markets at the nearest junction and plenty of nice eateries (if you have had enough of pizza and pasta the Indian restaurant up the road on the right as you turn left out of the apartment, Ghandi, served one of the best Indians we have had and was very well priced).
We also found a bus that has a stop nearby that we used when we visited Pitti Palace.
It is on a quiet road with no noise at night which was important to us.
Highly recommended.
