This apartment makes you feel as though a friend has loaned it to you! It really feels like being in someone's home, where the bookshelves are full, the furniture is enchanting . . . . and still more than that, the hospitality is outstanding. More Florence guidebooks are piled on the coffee table than you could even read in a week's stay, and the host was extremely gracious, offering to order a taxi to the airport for us, on our return journey. We have stayed in the Oltrarno before (after all, our favorite trattorias are just around the corner, La Casaling and 4 Leoni), and this is the very best. Lovely atmosphere, and impeccably maintained.
