The apartment is large, charmingly furnished, and clean. The balcony was larger than the photos implied and a joy to use. The location is perfect, it is almost at the foot of Ponte Vecchio and one can walk through, what I consider, the spine of Florence: the road traversing north and south that crosses Arno by cutting through Ponte Vecchio.
We had some difficulty getting there as we needed to return our car immediately before arrival and Florence had narrow streets with ZTLs (restricted entry) and a garbage truck that took its time to crawl in front of us. The host was understandably upset at our tardiness but she still received my wife warmly and gave her a complete tour of the apartment and ran through an orientation of the surroundings.
