The neighborhood was fantastic and Michele is very friendly and helpful. Lots of great places to eat and lots going on in this neighborhood not to mention you area away from the hoards of tourists that are on the other side of the Ponte Vecchio. However, all the 'greatest hits' of Florence are super easy to get to from here and the apartment is very quiet so that was perfect. The bathroom was smaller than I was expecting, but it is nicely updated and functional. We were only there for a couple days so did not cook a full dinner, but it looked like it was well equipped if you wanted to.
