Barbara was a fantastic, engaging host who met us in person to check-in and provide an apartment tour. She was also very quick to respond to messages or queries. The space is very well designed, with stylish touches and original artwork throughout - clearly a lot of thought has been put into this. The kitchen is also fantastic if you plan on cooking any meals, large or small. The location, just across the river, was within walking distance to all the main sights and even closer to some of our favourite neighbourhoods in Florence.
The only negative for during our week-long stay, was the very limited natural light which the apartment receives. This may not be an issue for everyone, but if you're going to spend quite a bit of time in the apartment, it's worth knowing in advance.
Otherwise, for couples looking for a good base from which to explore Florence, this place is a good option!
