The apartment is as pictured, clean and orderly. Even when you open the terrace doors, the apartment is very quiet. Though not pictured online, there are green shutters to cover the doors, so there is privacy. The neighborhood is full of restaurants, bars, shopping, museums and near the train and tram to the airport. You are close to the Arno for lovely walks in the evening. A portable WiFi device provided by Markos made it possible to get service while touring the sites. My husband and I plan to stay with Markos again.
