I had a lovely two week stay at Beth Ann’s place. The apartment is in a great location, 10 minutes from Ponte Vecchio and just behind the Boboli Gardens. Very quiet, peaceful and safe area - an area of antique shops. No noise at night at all and the apartment is cool with good air conditioning. There’s a Carrefour express 2 minutes away and a great bakery at the Porta Romana which does excellent focaccia, croissants, etc. It is right next to the bus stop for Poggobonsi/San Gimignano. The highlight of my stay was the lovely garden! I had breakfast there every morning - bliss! And aperitivos in the evening. You need mosquito coils to keep those pesky monsters at bay! Highly recommended - I was so sad to leave the lovely garden!
