Location, location, location: If you are looking for "A room with a view" this is your place. We were torn between wanting to sit all day and look at the beautiful Arno river from our amazing vantage point - or get out and enjoy beautiful Florence.
The apartment was very comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed to eat in (although we preferred eating out!) and relax together. There were incredible restaurants just doors away and Filippo gave us great recommendations, too. There is a very well stocked grocery store a short walk away, and an even better wine store/cafe just a few steps beyond.
Our family of five had enough space to sit together at the table and to hang out in the common space, reading or playing cards.
We weren't expecting the TV set, but it was nice to have to watch holiday films together.
We would stay in this apartment again given the opportunity to return to Florence and would highly recommend it to any of our family and friends
