This is the PERFECT place to stay in Florence!

Across the river from the busy, tourist areas, this apartment is located in a quiet neighbourhood full of delicious restaurants (definitely check out Tamero, Trattoria La Casalinga, and Gelateria della Passera). The bakery downstairs is sweet and offers a perfect start to your day with pastries and coffee.

The apartment is within walking distance to all the major tourist attractions. It's spacious for 2 people and offers all the necessary comforts of home. The decor is really neat, there's so much to look at and the art is beautiful. The bed is large and firm, and is great after a long day or sightseeing.

Alessandra was a lovely hostess - she met us at the apartment, gave us a tour (and a bottle of wine!), and left us with lists of suggested restaurants in the area.

On weekends, the street can be a bit noisy when the bars let out, but earplugs easily solved that (I'm also a light sleeper - most people would't even notice it). Even so, it's much quieter than the other side of the river!

I'd recommend staying here to anyone, and we plan on returning to Alessandra's lovely apartment again when we revisit Florence.

Grazie mille Alessandra!
