This is a delightful little flat, just right for a couple with a child or three people. The flat is on the third floor of a fine old palazzo with a giant "portone" [front door] and eccentric lift. The flat is not large, but feels much more spacious than it is, thanks to the most marvellous views at the back towards San Mineato and the trees beyond. This gives you the feeling of being half in the country and half in the city, which is ideal, after a hard day tramping round the cobbled streets of Florence. The area is very pleasant as well, not too touristy, with a couple of cafes and a gelateria on the corner. All in all, thoroughly recommended.
