We were met by Cosimo's mother Alberta. She was very welcoming. She told of places we can eat locally. good choices. We loved the apartment and building. Great old world charm. Large enough with everything we needed! Easy to get too from the train station. great neighborhood with incredible views of the Medici Chapel. Close to the center of all the action. We really loved the modern ceiling fans when it felt warm, they helped me sleep....a big plus! We really felt like we were living in Florence.
I would recommend highly.
