We spent a wonderful 4 nights at Lorenzo's place in Florence.
Lorenzo met us at the apartment as arranged and showed us all we needed to know about the place. His English is good and he made us feel most welcome.
The apartment has the most stunning views over Florence from the little balcony. It is just two or three minutes walk from the Ponte Vecchio and five minutes or so to the Pitti Palace & Boboli Gardens. The walk to the main sights across the Ponte Vecchio are only a few minutes too, the Uffizi being directly opposite, across the river.
There is a very good supermarket nearby for all your provisions and lots of restaurants and bars close by. The street that the apartment is located in is quiet and the balcony is private.
The apartment is well equipped but if you plan to cook and eat in do note that it has no oven or grill. The two burner cooktop was adequate for our needs.
There are six flights of quite steep stairs to the apartment so it is not suitable if you are unfit. After the walk up the street you feel you have had a good workout once you reach the front door!
We would definitely recommend Lorenzo's apartment for it's great location, wonderful views and peace & quiet.
