We met Tommaso's father at the apartment to drop our bag off while it was being cleaned (we arrived early) the apartment itself is perfectly situated south of the river. The area is host to the best gelato and some of the best restaurants in Florence (recommend Gesto for an interesting tapas evening). It is an easy walk from all the major attractions including the beautiful view from piazza dei michaelangelo. The apartment itself is beautiful, clean with all the amenities you need. There is a flight of stairs to get to it but this isn't really a problem and the building itself outside and in is stunning (essentially staying in an apartment in a medieval castle that's been modernised inside slightly!) and the pictures don't do it justice. Will be back again soon!
