Being the fourth time to Florence I was a bit hesitant to stay this side of Florence. I had always lived on the other side and thought it better... however I must say I loved being in this area..the proximity to the Arno and such an easy walk from the Centre....near some of the best bakeries Ive eaten in and being a cook .... that's important....such great restaurants and wine bars just over the river in the oltrano area...the area is quiet of a night and the apartment itself has two big windows looking over the rooftops of Florence and in the distance is Fiesole. The apartment is bright, clean, modern and trendy. It has all you need for a short stay and even for a longer one. And has a lift which if you have ever not had one will appreciate. Luca, the host is the most generous and thoughtful host....nothing is too much trouble and he is always there, or a txt away from help.... I was very sad to leave but look forward to staying again. Thanks for making it such a beautiful stay.... Gracie a Mille Luca
