This apartment was absolutely lovely. Luisa was a great host to my friends and I and was very accommodating to us. The apartment was in the perfect location, only a couple of minutes walking to the Duomo, status of David, Uffizi gallery, Ponte Vecchio, and all the different piazzas in town. Just outside of the apartment, there are endless amounts of shops, cafes, and restaurants to go to. Florence is a wonderful city and staying at Louisa's place made it even better. The inside of the apartment was clean and quite spacious for six people. The living space was wonderful and newly renovated, so it was very comfortable. The area outside the building is safe and secure as well. It is also tucked away nicely in the courtyard area of the building so it is quiet as well. Luisa warmly welcomed my friends and I and made us feel at home right away. The balcony was charming as well and is the perfect place to sit and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine at night after a long day of traveling and sightseeing. I would highly recommend staying in the apartment for the location, spaciousness, cleanliness, charm, and for the great host. Next time I come back to Florence, I would love to stay in this place again. Also, within ten minutes or less waking from the apartment there are two fantastic restaurants to go to that I would highly recommend (il Pizzaiuolo and La Gisotra).
