After visiting Florence several times, it was a very nice change to stay in a quiet residential neighborhood. The apartment itself is spacious and airy, very comfortably furnished, with everything a traveler might need, including comfortable beds!
The neighborhood is great too. There is a supermarket around the corner, a lovely bakery and a wine shop right across the street, a nearby street market, a bar/cafe on the corner, and other conveniently located shops and restaurants. Everyone in the neighborhood is friendly and helpful.
Best of all was the warm welcome from Richard. He gave us a great orientation to the neighborhood, recommended good places to eat, ordered taxis for us, and was helpful in so many ways.
We would definitely stay here again!
