Excellent location for the price. The balcony/terrace is even better than the pictures! The furniture on the terrace is comfortable. The bed is comfortable. The shower is sizeable for Europe. The A/C works well.
Giulio was a very considerate host. He had us meet with Luca, who was very nice and gave us excellent personal recommendations on where to eat! Giulio checked in with us shortly after we arrived and addressed any questions promptly.
For nearby food:
Miss Song- amazing Asian food right around the corner! We are there about 10 times in three weeks. (On Servi)
Oil Shoppe- the best subs you've ever had for about 4 Euro. Everything there is good though. Fries, salad, soup, smoothies... Very nice couple owns it. It's where most of the Study Abroad students eat. (On Pucci)
La Giostra- Make a reservation. Fancy, but not insanely expensive restaurant nearby. They have a cover charge but that includes a large and delicious app platter, bread, and prosecco. (just past the Oil Shoppe & around the corner to the left.)
Maso- my favorite Carbonara and "tortellini" (really ravioli) in truffle sauce! Amazing! (near Santa Maria Novella, only about a 15 minute walk max. Past Weston Excelsior)
Beppa Fioraia- Luca recommended this place and it was very good. We got the Gran Beppa and even though a few things sounded weird we gave it a try and I enjoyed almost everything. Very good. Best to make a reservation. (Across the river, but before Michaelangelo's hill)
