The apartment is as advertised - a paradise! Alberto is a kind man and a wonderful host. The apartment was immaculate when I arrived and well-stocked with basic kitchen and bathroom supplies. The pictures are entirely accurate. A couple things that pleasantly surprised me - the bed is a king size so that was amazing and the bathroom is much nicer than it looks in the pictures. It's clean, functional, and feels modern. The view from the living room is truly lovely. I cooked many meals at home in the fully functional kitchen. I even did laundry and the machine worked like a charm. As for location, the apartment is really well situated within walking distance to all major cultural sights. The shopping in the area is some of the best in Florence - expensive. but it's always lovely to window-shop on your way back to the apartment. You are also really close to the river, and there's amazing gelato just across the bridge (5 min walk). This is truly a wonderful place to stay and I hope to be back someday.
