Enrico's apartment was great. It lies on the edge of the historic center, so there is no noise pollution. Nevertheless, it is very close to the central station and the main hotspots are at a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes walking distance. There are also some fantastic restaurants, two of which are in the same street, in the immediate vicinity.
The greatest attraction for us, however, was the historic character of the building and its surroundings. Sandro Botticelli lived and worked in the same street. Amerigo Vespucci also lived there at the same time, so it is assumed that his cousin Simonetta Vespucci probably stayed there more often. Although art critics do not agree, Simonetta is seen as the muse of Botticelli and would have been the model for his famous Venus. The house and workshop of the painter have been demolished (now the pizzeria at number 45), but Enrico's apartment seems to be from the same time. History was, but is now.
The apartment is wonderfully spacious for two people and fully equipped, we enjoyed the evening sun on the modest balcony. The interior is elegant and the old beams give it a historic charm. The welcome was warmest and the bottle of Chianti very attentive.
Since there is no elevator, people who have difficulty walking should not choose this spot. For everyone else this is a great romantic place and I recommend the apartment wholeheartedly.
