Oliver was charming and helpful and welcomed us ouside the apartment. He was very quick to arrive, even though we had turned ip earlier than he had anticipated. The apartment took our breath away! We loved it instantly and were amazed at how quiet it was, day and night even though it was so close to the heartbeat of the old part of Florence. The neighbourhood was safe and it was just a couple hundred paces to the Uffizi, the Ponte Vecchio and a little longer to the Duomo.

We discovered the delicious Edoardo organic gelatos right on the Piazza Duomo! Sitting there in the square looking up to the Duomo, and listening to an incredible classical guitarist play my favourite piece called "Romance" while we had our gelatos was just perfection!

The apartment was very elegant and comfortable and the excellent AC was very welcome in the 36 degree heat that we had every day! One suggestion that would be very helpful would be for Oliver & Elena to warn guests who plan to arrive in Florence by car to research the implications of the ZTL - Florence restricted traffic zone of which the apartment is in!

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay and would highly recommend this very special gem in the middle of the most beautiful city in the world.
