Daria's place was just what we needed to enjoy our first trip to Florence! Conveniently located just over the bridge, but still within the city walls. Getting there by car was made easier with tips from Ilaria. We parked in a nearby parking garage after dropping off our luggage in the ZTL area. It was close to some amazing restaurants, sights and an easy to navigate. The ACs in the hot summer were wonderful, the wifi was great in the common areas, the showers (yes there were 2!) were hot and had great water pressure, the kitchen was well equipped for meals to be made and eaten in, and the cuteness factor (old world charm with modern comforts) was perfection. Our only minor complaints, were that there are a few restaurants and bars below that were a bit loud and you could feel the vibrations, at times, in the main bedroom. Luckily, earplugs were supplied, but with the windows closed and fast working air conditioning on, it really wasn't an issue. Plus, opening the old windows to look over the outdoor dining, main road, and the church was just lovely. Oh, and the 4 doors and locks leading up the stairs to the second floor appartment were a bit tricky and a hassle every time, but eventually you get the hang of it, just when it's sadly time to leave. We can't wait stay there again!
