If you've ever looked up at exquisite ancient Florentine buildings from the street & wondered what they are like inside this is your chance for a totally authentic experience. SUPERB LOCATION. Flat is on the third floor of an ancient building - with an elevator! Big windows overlook a lovely private garden (the cherry tree was in full bloom during my stay). Beyond is the "Bardini Garden" on a stunning hillside. There are beautiful views of this classical Italian garden. And, awakening to a symphony of bird-song & church bells in Florence is wonderful !! At the back of the bldg. the flat is very private, quiet / peaceful. Furnishings are traditional/classical, some antiques, and the owners extensive book collection. Somewhat faded but lovely elegance which fits the character of the bldg. (FYI no TV … if this matters to you). Kitchen was well equipped. Flat has newly installed window-screens. There's aircon (didn't use it during my visit). Central heat. Small bath but what you would expect in such an old bldg. Shower small but good water pressure. Bed OK … could be better (two thin single mattresses on an old frame). Flat is perfect for 1-3 people only. Supermarket a 10 minute walk. This flat offers a great location & authentic experience in an awesome Renaissance city. You'll truly be part of the local scene. I HIGHLY recommend.
