The apartment and its location is wonderful. Across the bridge from the medieval city, but close enough to enjoy and in a very quiet location with a lovely garden out back. Monica seems to have thought of everything to make her guests as comfortable as possible and she had left us a bottle of wine, some fruit out her garden and tea, coffee, olive oil etc. There are 2 bikes available which we thought we would use, but we enjoyed the walking to all the main sights of interest and the train station. There are several small restaurants, a bakery, bars and a pharmacy nearby, so we had everything that we needed. We definitely recommend Turtle House and would stay here again if we're lucky enough to return to Florence in the future.
