This is a wonderful apartment exactly as pictured in an absolutely perfect location. The location is just on the other side of the river away from the truly insane crowds but literally just around the corner from Ponto Vechio. There is a square outside the door with a great cafe, gelato shop, pizzeria, and restaurant. The square definitely seems to attract locals and some tourists alike but it is definitely a great find away from the major tourist crowds. The square is active into the late evening with the restaurant and gelateria and cafe open late so you can hear some people, but it is by no means something to deter anyone other than the very sensitive. The air conditioning here worked perfect both upstairs and down. The host greeted us as we pulled up in our taxi and before our scheduled arrival so it was great. Do try Trattoria Cammillo just around the corner which was the best Italian meal of my life. The only thing negative was that the bed was not the most comfy and quite firm, and I traditionally like firm beds. We slept on top of the two extra down comforters we found in the closet and did just fine. If you are extremely sensitive to this sort of thing though I do think you should be aware. Otherwise our stay was perfect. I would gladly stay there again.
