Giulia's apartment was exactly as pictured with an amazing view out the kitchen window! The location is absolutely perfect- you are in the heart of everything but yet slightly tucked away and it is quiet at night after 11. But the windows are thick so if you go to bed early as long as you close them it is quiet and peaceful, at any time of day. Giulia was kind and friendly when we met for her to bring me some extra sheets and towels. Perfect location for such a beautiful city! You are on the Oltrarno side of town (my favorite) yet close to the beautiful Ponta Vecchio and the center and close enough to Cascine park to go running there. Recommended!
