John and Christine's place was a home from home. We could not have been happier. It looked much nicer than in the photos, especially the bedroom. The apartment was stylish, well equipped, cosy and had some great extra features like having speakers for music in the bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom was spacious and had a super shower. We had guests over for a couple of nights and so we used the sofa bed which was comfortable and in this case the small extra bathroom was great. Even though it was winter, having a garden was a plus. John was an excellent host. He met us on arrival and gave us a map and a lot of useful information. We also appreciated the fact that our linen was changed in the middle of our stay as we stayed for nearly 2 weeks. A lovely touch was the welcome bottle of prosecco. Apart from being a super place, being in the Oltrarno area was just perfect. We were surrounded by excellent restaurants, it was quiet, not touristical and within a short walking distance of the centre and train station. There was also a supermarket round the corner. We highly recommend this apartment.
