Stefania's apartment is in an excellent position. It is very spacious and has an amazing view over the river and the Ponte Vecchio bridge. The apartment is very close to many cafes and restaurants and of course the leather shops and the gelato stores are in abundance. There is some traffic noise in the morning as the bedrooms face the street but this is very minor. We took advantage of Stefania's suggestion of contacting Francesco who organised a days outing to Siena and the Tuscan countryside. An excellent option if you have the time. I would happily stay in Stefania's apartment again.
