We were a bit late arriving at the apt after getting lost for a bit. Martina's mom Paola was there with all smiles waiting to greet us! Great location in the Oltrarno district in Firenze, right next to Carraira Gelateria and 2 bridges from Pointe Vecchio. Great cafes and little shops in this area of town. The apt was roomy as there were 2 of us. One on the sofa bed and one in the bedroom, it was only a one floor walk up, so not too bad. The apt is located right off the main drag of the bridge so it was a bit noisy without double glazed windows in the living room. If you're used to living in the city, this should not be a problem. In the bedroom, when you opened the windows in the morning, you will get a nice whiff of the bakery downstairs. Since it was getting a bit warmer, we had to keep some of the windows opened as we didn't see any fan or a/c, then we had some hungry mosquitos come in.....regardless, a comfortable and convenient place to stay with hospitable hosts. Paola even came back to give us her hair dryer one morning! Thank you Martina + Paola for a great experience!
