The apartment was tastefully decorated with many antiques that make you feel you were truly in old Italy. It is clean and roomy. The balcony with it's 2 French doors is prefect to watch the sunset with it's views of Piazza Michelangelo and The Arno River. The bedrooms were located on the other end of the apartment across from a picturesque library and Piazza San Croce a block away. It is perfect for watching the local scene. The location was perfect for us. It is on a bus line as well although you can easily walk to Ponte Vecchio, The Uffizi and The Duomo etc. there is a grocery store right down the street as well.
Rafealla was helpful and explained how to operate appliances,doors etc and accommodated our arrival time. Be careful there are two number #13's near each other on the street. But we searched for her last name on the door. We had no phone so we made sure to get that info prior.
Unfortunately there were people that smoked in a nearby apartment and it affected the bedrooms and hallway. We didn't mind but feel like it should be shared.
It is quiet on the balcony side but on the street side, people stayed up late into the night. There are double windows to block out the sound. It didn't bother me.
Overall I would stay there again and recommend the apartment.
