Wonderful time at the Silent Oltrarno! Beautiful apartment in a perfect location, easy walking to everywhere in Florence. We even walked with our small luggage from the train station- about 15 minutes. Maurizo greeted us at the apartment, showed us all around his place. He took great pride in sharing his city and tips for touring. He had treats and coffee and full breakfast in the fridge. We loved the cozy authentic feel of the flat. Make sure you stop at the Gelato store on the corner before you cross over the bridge in the main square. It was the best and most reasonably priced that we had in Florence. We hope to return some day. The winter holiday allowed for festive lights on every alley. Loved everything about this flat!
