A nice, quirky, charming apartment in a terrific location. It's minutes from the Duomo and Accademia, a short walk to the river, and right by the neighborhood of Santa Croce where we found less-touristed restaurants and wine bars nd relatively quiet streets. There is also a good grocery very near by, and a jazz club down the block. The apartment is funky, with its loft off the kitchen, the cute little room in the back, and the small private terrace (good for morning coffee, drying clothes in the afternoon, and having an evening digestif). Little details in the furnishings add to the character, reminding one of city. The place actually seems bigger than it is! The AC was effective and welcome on an unusually warm weekend in Florence. It's a walk up three flights of stone stairs, but that was not an issue for us. Communication with Giacomo was great. He met us at the apartment and dropped by the next day with an extra set of keys that we requested. Upon our departure he offered a small gift bag, containing thoughtful items to take on the remainder of our journey. (Yes, Giacomo, we are using them!). All in all, this was a good value for the three of us, and again, can't say enough about the location!
