The apartment is large, nice and has almost everything one needs. I was afraid of the mosquitoes since there are no nets at the windows but there was almost no problem at all. We didn't miss the air conditioning since the old building is cool enough (there are also some big ceiling ventilators but we didn't need them, although outside was pretty hot. The area is wonderful (the river, the view, the walks to Fiesole) but a little remote: one needs 10-15 minutes walk to the closest grocery (there is however a fruit an vegetables store at 2-3 minutes), but the bus connection to the center is very good. It is an ideal place to escape the crowded center and enjoy the charm of an authentic old palace.
