Tommaso greeted us warmly and on time. He gave us a thorough apartment orientation. His uncle, Riccardo, met us at check-out time and was exceedingly friendly and even helped us with our luggage to our car. They are genuinely nice people whom it was a pleasure to meet. Their command of the English language is very good.

The apartment is lovely, surprisingly spacious, and very comfortable yet elegantly appointed with antiques, rugs, and artwork. Both natural and artificial lighting is good. The kitchen is small but perfectly efficient for short stays. The bedroom is especially private and quiet.

The location is very good for walking around Florence. The south side of the river is a tight and bustling part of the city with equal number of local residents and tourists. The local "super market" provided everything we needed for in house dining.
