Saverio & Lidia (Cosimo's father and mother) met us outside the apartment and warmly welcomed us with a cappuccino at the neighborhood cafe. The local area was very quaint and close to the center (we walked from the train station). The apartment itself was beautiful - just as described and pictured. Newly renovated but maintaining Florence's old world charm, the apartment was everything we wanted. The kitchen was equipped, the apartment clean, rooms nicely furnished and, best of all, the rooftop deck was amazing. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a centrally located (but slightly away from the bulk of tourists), large and luxurious apartment that has a wonderful area to eat and celebrate outdoors. Thanks for the wonderful visit!
