Our host was wonderful. He responded quickly to my questions, and greeted us upon arrival and departure with a very warm and friendly attitude. He prepared a helpful book with tips on local restaurants, etc. He even provided complimentary food including pastries, snacks, yogurt, milk, bottled water, tea, instant coffee and even a bottle of wine! The apartment is on a quiet street directly across from the oldest public building in Florence, the Bargello Museum, also near the Piazza della Signoria, and within walking distance of the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio. The apartment is on the third floor and has no elevator but our host assisted us with carrying the luggage up the stairs! The apartment was updated and immaculately clean. The interior was stylish. The only issue was the master bed was very firm and therefore was uncomfortable in my opinion. We found the location to be perfect for our trip as it is near many of the sites we planned to visit. Except for the bed, it was perfect!
