This apartment is very quiet and peaceful. The furnishings are quite tasteful. The bathroom has almost a zen type feel. We really enjoyed the spacious kitchen, spending time cooking and chatting. There are several garden areas but it was a bit hot by the time our adventures ended each day to enjoy. Temperatures were a bit above normal.
The apartment is very close to the Pitti Palace and the Bonolis Gardens. We packed a picnic lunch one day, and hiked up to thePorcelain Museum. If you walk towards the Porta Roma there’s a fresh bakery and several small shops with reasonable prices, well worth the stroll. There’s also a free park area where you can enjoy sitting on a bench while munching on a sandwich or pastry.
The Pointe Vecchio or Uffizi Gallery are also close by. There are bus stops, we never actually used any this trip, that connect you to other areas in town.
BTW, the hostess was kind enough to arrange for a taxi the day before our departure. It can be very difficult to get a last minute booking, as everyone is trying to checkout around the same time.
