I love the Oltrarno area, it's on the south side of the Arno river and much less turistic and loud than the center but it still has amazing restaurants and shops, more of a local feel. The apartment, for those that appreciate unique design and antiques like me, it was fantastic. I will say that I don't mind stairs so having It on a 4 th fl walk up and the apartment itself is on 2 levels didn't bother me. Its a very cosy,quaint and unique place with a sweet roof terrace.
