This charming apartment is spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen and bathrooms had every amenity required. Although situated in a historical part of Florence, nothing about it was old or musty. The location is ideal: it took me only one full day to familiarise myself with the area, which to my delight put the main sights e.g. the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and church of Santa Croce all within walking distance!
The owner's husband Stefano was not only there to greet me when I arrived, but he also had maps of the city and personally-prepared restaurant plus things-to-do-and-see lists. Even though it wasn't my first visit to Florence, I very much appreciated his in-depth knowledge of its history and unique offerings.
I feel I should mention that there are two short flights of stairs (and no lifts in these centuries-old buildings) leading up to the apartment door. I felt sorry for Stefano who had to help me with my two rather heavy pieces of luggage.
I would definitely recommend this to my 'aficionado of Italy' friends. One of them already commented "what a find!" to my photos.
