I was delighted at the quality of the sleep here. Although the apartment is fairly central, the bedrooms are very peaceful.
The entire place was super-clean, and very comfortable. I appreciated the detailed instructions for using the appliances. Located just outside the old city walls, it is still very central, and within an easy walk of the major sights like the Uffizi, Duomo, Santa Maria Novella, Novecento, Palazzos Vecchio and Pitti, Ponte Vecchio and so on. It is agreeable to retreat to the peace of San Frediano in the evening and visit the neighborhood restaurants, of which there are many.
A couple of tips – the upstairs bedroom has an en suite bathroom separated by a curtain, not door, so travel with someone who you are extremely comfortable with or plan to pop downstairs at key moments; and, while I didn’t travel with a car, parking in the street outside the apartment seemed quite limited but on a street called Monte di Oliveto nearby there always seemed to be space – and you can climb by that route to a hill called Bellosguarda, which is a very agreeable retreat from the city.
The host is most welcoming and attentive, and there are a lot of useful local tips in the flat.
