The apartment exceeded our expectations. It is as clean and lovely as the pictures show. However, it’s what you can’t see in pictures that really make a difference. The street the apartment is on is really busy and loud. However, the apartment is really quiet, especially the master bedroom. There was liquid hand soap in each bathroom and liquid dish soap in the kitchen. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, glasses, flatware and cookware, trash bags, dishwashing tablets... There was an assortment of leftover spices, teas, coffee filters and some coffee that really helped us get settled in.
The apartment is wonderfully located very close to the Santa Maria Novella, the Dome, the Ponte Vecchia, the Accademia... so much really. There is a restaurant on the block, Ristorante Giglio Rosso, that became our neighborhood restaurant. I recommend it. It’s nice but not haute and has a big menu. It’s owned by brothers Angelo and Franco. You’ll need dinner reservations. Make them online, it’s easy.
Have a great time!
