We stayed 6 nights in Lapo's apartment. We chose it because it had good reviews. The location was ideal in a quiet side-street in residential area. Far enough away from hustle of tourists but only 15 minute walk to main sites in centre, via Ponte Vecchio. Also, 5-10 minutes walk to good supermarket (Carrefour) and restaurants on Piazza Santo Spirito.

A bottle of wine on arrival (thank you) and some basics that seems to have been left by others. We had to buy milk, butter, jams, tea coffee etc. We did not meet Lapo but were greeted briefly by Federica who did not speak English. Apartment equipped with adequate kitchen for cooking etc. and washing machine and outside clothes line. Good size bedroom with comfortable bed. Nice decor but some attention needed here and there, eg. Cupboard doors adjusting.

On first night we had problem with leaking boiler dripping water onto the floor. It appears to be a long-term problem as the wooden floor was sunk. We had to turn off main water supply to get some sleep. Fault reported to Lapo but he had difficulty getting a plumber. Also hot tap in kitchen needs new washer. We exchanged messages with Lapo over next few days but no one turned up. Pity because we lost sleep each night worrying about boiler leak. Hope it gets fixed for future renters.
