This place is everything promised and more. The location is on a very quiet side street with huge wooden shutters to block out street noise. You may hear a bit of noise from the trash truck the comes in the morning but even the restaurants across the street are quiet. But just a 3 minute walk down the street is the very busy Ponte Vecchio bridge!! So many shops and restaurants within a close walking distance. The streets are level and even my 87 year old father got around just fine. The location is the best you will ever find.
Now for the house. In a word.....perfect. The place exudes charm. From the high ceilings, the fresco in the master, the 7’ tall shutters. All amazing. The second bath is quirky. Go through the kitchen and up a half flight of stairs. Wow is it so cool and private. Really loved the bath. Great views out of the windows. The flat is one flight up, about 20 stairs but not steep. Dad handled them fine. The kitchen was spotless and well equipped although a French press would have been nice. I can’t get the hang of a Moka pot. The stove is convection. Loved that!!
The host never personally greeted us but it wasn’t necessary. She gave us detailed instructions how to get in and was easy to reach if we needed her.
