A view makes a difference! It's such a wonderful view to get lost in and makes for a very romantic stay in beautiful Florence. The apartment is on the 4th floor (beware lots of stairs!) of a very old tower building right at the entrance to Ponte Vecchio south side. It's very quiet and interior has rustic charm, but well appointed. It seems perfect for walking and tourist sights, although hard to get a cab around there. Great grocery store right across the street. Luca was nice and checked us in very efficiently. He lives in building but we didn't see him or hear any other tenants the whole time. One draw back was the bed was not very comfortable. It wasn't that it was too soft or firm (we prefer firm) but that it was not very substantial - it felt more like a pull out bed but was actually on a frame. We had to use the bed foam from the spare bed to make it more comfortable. Too bad because the bed really does make a difference for the weary traveler! Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will remember that view forever.
