I enjoyed staying at Veronica’s place! It’s a cute and quaint little apartment. Veronica is such a cheerful and kind soul. She is so sweet to give you a map that she made with some suggestions of restaurants, bars, sight seeing, etc.
The neighborhood is very nice and calm as you are on the other side of the river from the very touristy and crowded spots. But it’s no more than a 5 minute walk to get across the bridge. (Also has a bus stop a block a way great for getting to and from the train station) I also enjoyed going to the Boboli gardens close by and the truly local neighborhood around it.
Only downside is the large front window door does not block out noise too well, esp for construction on the building across the street, but this usually didn’t start until mid morning when we were already waking up for the day. Other than that it is a very quiet street so there’s not even much to hear - just a slight drawback for light sleepers out there.
