Amazing apartment that was perfectly located. It’s just around the corner from Ponte Vecchio and the Pitti Palace, so it’s easy to get to the main tourist sights. However, if you head in other directions you hit the trendier parts of Oltrarno as well as areas that feel much more local.
It’s very close to a supermarket as you head toward Ponte Vecchio, but if you head down in the other direction there’s a fruit and vegetable stand at the end of the street.
The apartment is on the 2nd floor, so the indirect light makes it a lot cooler than an apartment on a higher floor. The photos are accurate; the apartment is huge, modern, and clean. The host was also very responsive whenever I messaged him with a question during our stay.
Two things to note for future guests: 1) Because it’s on a main street the bedrooms get some noise, so if you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs. The blackout shades make it nice and dark, though. 2) If you use the bathtub as a shower, it’s important to angle the glass partition toward the tub, otherwise there’s not way to avoid having water puddle onto the floor. Also note that you will get some water running down the length of the tub onto the floor, but it's a small amount.
The apartment was well supplied with everything you’d need: a convenient drip-style coffee machine, dishes, pots and pans, cleaning supplies, extra toilet paper and tissues, etc. Having a washer/dryer was very helpful during our week’s stay. There was also tons of closet space for both luggage and clothes.
Would definitely recommend the apartment and the host to anyone visiting Florence!
