Oasis is the perfect word to describe this gem of an apartment in the heart of historic Florence. It has the old world look and charm with all the modern conveniences. It is beautifully decorated, comfortable, fully equipped, and is actually better than it appears on the website as it is larger than expected, and very well laid out. Everything worked well. The crisp white bedding and A/C cooled us down perflectly at the end of our long days visiting Florence's amazing sites. The building is secure and quiet -- no creaks or plumbing noises whatsoever. It was very difficult to leave this beautiful place. Marie was very responsive when I was securing the aparrtment and during our stay. Read her binder of information when you arrive as it contains a lot of useful information -- especially about the gelato!
