This nicely appointed apartment is perfect for two and has all you need to relax and prepare light meals after a busy day of sightseeing. The street below can be noisy but the bedroom is situated in the back and peaceful with the door closed.
The bed is firm and was much to our liking. We felt safe and comfortable and made the most of the local restaurants and shops to buy ripe fruits and vegetables from local shopkeepers.
The flat is ideally situated in the residential area below the Arno and near the Boboli Garden. An easy twenty minute walk on via die Serragli and across the bridge places you immediately within some of the cities most important sites such as the Uffizi Gallery.
You have to be comfortable walking up steep stairs to enter the flat and on narrow cobblestone sidewalks amid traffic. If you drive, there is an excellent enclosed garage not far away at $28 euros a day. Depending on your needs, a small washer with soap and a drying wrack are provided on the small veranda. Wifi was strong and dependable. TV on site but only with a few channels. You can brew American style coffee but bring the larger Melitta filters as we could not find them in the area.
For those seeking a more authentic experience in Florence and a break from the crowds and expense of big chain hotels, Boboli Apartment is highly recommend.
