Dmitri met me at the apartment when I arrived, and showed me around the apartment and important things such as how to work the heating, and the wi-fi.

The apartment was the perfect size for one (I was travelling alone), but would also work for a couple. Being open plan (including the bedroom), little privacy is provided, so could be claustrophobic for more people for more than a few days. I highlight that the bedroom is on a mezzanine level resulting in a low ceiling and a particularly low beam. I could stand, but had to duck under the beam (forgetting a few times!) - I am 5'4'' so others who are taller could get frustrated by this. But the place was perfect as I say for me.

The apartment was basically appointed (could do with some minor improvements which I've shared with Dmitri) but clean, well heated (appreciated in chilly February) and with good wi-fi connection.

The apartment is in the quieter but increasingly trendy Oltrano area of the city, south of the river Arno. Having stayed in the city a few times, it is good to find a quieter street! It is a few minutes from Palazzo Pitti, and probably 5 minutes for the Ponte Vecchio bridge and a good grocery store.

Dmitri was also flexible on my departure time, letting me leave the keys in the apartment and shutting the door behind me.

I would recommend this apartment for one or two people visiting either for a short stay or a longer one (I was there for just over 2 weeks).
