Federico's apartment is as gorgeous in real life as it is the pictures. You do actually feel like you are staying at a museum, which is appropriate since you have a perfect view of the Uffizi from your windows. It is impeccably maintained and very comfortable. The location is amazing (right by the Ponte Vecchio) with beautiful views; close to great restaurants and shopping; a great location for hiking up for views of the city. I would not hesitate a second to stay here again. In addition, Federico is an incredibly gracious, responsive and lovely host. He answered every question almost immediately, kept us informed when an unexpected storm took the water out for a few hours, and even arranged for a taxi for our departure and came to say goodbye early in the morning when we left (and helped with our luggage, which was FAR beyond the call of duty . . . ). I cannot say enough positive things about him, his apartment and our experience.
