This apt is exactly like the pictures, even better! Huge living areas, beautiful furnishings, including embroidered (and ironed) sheets on the bed! I haven't seen sheets like those since my grandmother's house! All of the extras in the frig, kitchen, bathroom were provided. Everything was very clean, great hot water/pressure in the shower. The hosts were there to meet us and very nice. They also sent us a lot of useful information on events in Florence, and were very responsive to our emails. The deck on the front (river side) was a little loud due to the traffic on the street below, but that is no fault of the hosts. We did not use the front deck as much as we would have liked because of the noise and the heat (we were there in early Sept), but we did enjoy the air conditioned apartment alot! The bedrooms were on the other side of the apt, so it was very quiet at night. We would recommend this apartment to anyone and hope they enjoy it as much as we did. Thank you Cinzia, Piero, and Elisa for letting us stay in your wonderful apartment!
