It's true what they say, it's all about Location, Location, Location! Caterina's apartment is located between two of my favorite places in Florence, Piazza della Passera and Piazza Santo Spirito, in Oltrarno. It is very close to all the tourist attractions, yet in the more local part of town. Unfortunately, the great location comes with a price, and it can get pretty noisy with street sounds and party goers on weekend nights. But bought earplugs after the first night and it wasn't an issue anymore. I would also recommend mosquito repellent as mosquitos are a problem this time of year (summer) so close to the river. The apartment was very clean and just as beautiful as pictured. It has all amenities for a comfortable stay and even a guest toilet which is rare at this size but very convenient if you have several people stay. Caterina was very responsive and flexible with checking in and out arrangements. I really enjoyed pretending to be Florentine for a few days, with my own apartment, enjoying my morning espresso a the corner cafe at Piazza della Passera in the morning, and lounging on the steps of Santo Spirito at night. I recommend this apartment and would definitely come back!
