You will really enjoy staying here. While the pictures show a lovely apartment, they don’t convey the sense of peace Sara’s place brings. It is clean and bright, everything is updated and works well, and it is filled with original and personal touches. You know your really cool artistic friend that has a really cool artistic apartment? Well, you get to stay there.
Sara’s communication was prompt and accommodating. The fridge was stocked with water and a bottle of wine, the cupboards with coffee and basic supplies like olive oil, salt and sugar. Comfortable bed, great shower. I don’t think the listing mentions it, but there’s a sweet balcony off of the kitchen that lets in fresh air, light and a view of the lower yards and gardens. Sara even let me keep my bags there until the evening of my check out day.
Any negatives? I suppose you could stay 10 minutes closer to the river. But you would miss being a part of a real Florentine neighborhood. You would miss strolling down streets with people on their way to or from work and school. You would miss stopping for a moment in a little piazza and watching the neighborhood kids play soccer. And you might miss Santa Rosa Bistrot, a wonderful cafe that spreads out into a park. Fantastic!
