This apartment is in a fantastic location. It's just a short walk across the Arno to the centre but far enough away to be out of the mad crush and rush of tourists. The Oltrarno area is an historic part of the city where you find local artizans' workshops still operating. It's also where locals choose to live. The apartment itself is modern and light, with a view over the rooftops to Santo Spirito and Santa Carmine churches. Giovanni and Lorenzo love their city and this area; their willingness to share their knowledge and local information really enhanced our visit. We look forward to staying here again next time we're in Florence.
