Oltarno location: just about a 10-15 minute walk into the city center. Lovely quiet street steps away from really nice, hip restaurant/bar scene. Would highly recommend staying in the santo spirito area.
Hospitality: Filippo was in regular contact with us before we left home. Met us personally at the place when we arrived and took time to show us around. Made a point of telling us he was available for anything throughout our stay, and even called to check in with us. Was kind enough to let us store our luggage the last day while we toured the Uffizi, even though he had another guest coming that day.
Space: short two flight walk up. On vacation in Italy I was not doing any cooking but would have been easy to do so. comfortable bed for my husband and myself in the master bedroom. Our 12 year old son slept on a twin bed in a room connected to ours; our 15 year old son slept on the daybed in the den, said it was the most comfortable sleep he’s ever had! All in all, excellent space for a family
