I am reluctant to leave a review.
Only because I stayed here alone for probably the loveliest two weeks of my life and I don't want to share it with anyone! I want to leave my clothes in the closet and pretend it's my home away from home. It's so quiet, so peaceful, such a respite from the throngs of people just a few meters down the street; it feels like a world apart. Unfortunately, a couple of my friends came by for a visit; and now the word is out.
The apartment is exactly what you see in the photos. Only better. The kitchen is nice, though there probably isn't enough cooking/dining gear to spend a lot of time preparing elaborate meals. It was very convenient to buy takeaway at local places and eat in. The bathrooms are very nice and overall the place has an open, airy, yet cozy feel to it. It's comfy, like home. Probably the only drawback is there is no elevator; which is fine unless you have heavy luggage or bad knees. On the 3rd floor with several flights of steps it could be difficult for an elderly or disabled person.
It's quite close to the Duomo, but walk the other direction and it's small restaurants and merchants. A couple of markets nearby, Ciompi and Pulci; just an awesome location. I can't wait to return and only hope that it stays exactly the same.
Thank you Serena for sharing your lovely home! I can't wait to visit again!
