Wonderful Location and Apartment
This apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood in the Oltrarno District (the less touristy side of the Arno River), but it is lively enough with cafes, restaurants, bakeries, small grocery stores, and lovely scenery. An easy walk to the Boboli and Bardini Public Gardens as well as the Pitti Palace. Also a quick walk to the river and crossing to the other attractions such as the Uffizi and the Duomo. It's about a 20 minute walk to the train station and there is a fun market near there.
The apartment was exactly as described though I think it was exceptional. Our friends had an apartment very nearby and ours was nicer and well maintained. It really is a lovely apartment with a separate bedroom from the living area. Windows with shutters, a washing machine, gas stove and oven, refrigerator, air conditioning, washing machine and drying rack (in separate little room).
Cristina and Matteo were very gracious and generous as well as flexible about our time allowing us to depart a little later in the day. They were so responsive and helpful! Highly recommended.
