Matteo was a welcoming and genuine host. He communicated with us very well to ensure that we were able to get to the apartment without any issues. The trip was for my boyfriends 30th birthday and upon arrival we were given a really nice bottle of wine which I thought was absolutely lovely! Matteo gave us good information about Florence, he suggested a great restaurant (which we went to twice in a row) and also gave us a booklet of information about the city which was helpful.
The location of the apartment was perfect! The views were stunning and it's in an ideal location. If you look out of the window you can see the sun rise to your left and the sun set to your right. Thousands of people flock to Ponte Vecchio each day to catch the sun set and nothing was better than having this enthralling view right outside your door step. Directly opposite the apartment was a hotel which I curiously looked at to compare prices and to my surprise, it was roughly £600-£1000 per night with the exact same view!
The apartment itself is quirky with the most beautiful furniture, the kitchen had all the utensils (not that we used any of it... The food in Florence is amazing) the place was clean and the bed was comfortable. This was indeed a rare find and I got lucky! I would definitely book this place again if I came back to Florence and would recommend this blindly to friends and family.
If you're after great food, a romantic view and a cool apartment I would definitely book this. The only downfall I would say is that if you're someone who struggles to walk up stairs I probably would give this a second think - you have to walk up three sets of stairs to get to the apartment and there isn't an elevator although, Matteo is a true gentleman and bought my suitcase upstairs for me. I'm already trying to see if I can book this place again, unless you beat me to it :)
