This is a really lovely apartment in a fantastic location. Very nice decor, because it has personality and isn't just an off the shelf refit. It feels Florentine - we used to live nearby so we are familiar with Florentine homes. It is very spacious and the kitchen is very well-equipped - pleasant to hang out in. We were able to control the heating - it is easy to use and the apartment warms up quickly. The bedroom is very quiet, easy to oversleep!, and again, very spacious. It's true that the main living area is noisy, but that would be true of any apartment on that road, or any other road in the area. That is part of living in Florence. We were met punctually and in a professional but very friendly way, and everything was explained to us clearly. (This is a positive point, as this is not always the case in Florence, where we stay quite often). This is a historical building and may have connections with Brunelleschi - you couldn't be more Florentine than that! It has an extraordinary history. The nearby shops are really useful and the extremely well-stocked supermarket is just by the Ponte Vecchio, a stone's throw away. We were always happy to come back to this apartment after time out and about in an extremely cold Florence because it has a very nice atmosphere.
