This location is AMAZING! Walking distance to literally anywhere you’d want to go (the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Piazzale Michaelangelo & shopping downtown). There’s a market with all essentials directly across the street, cafes, restaurants and gelato in every direction, and upon opening the windows in the evening the sound of live opera could be heard coming from the church across the way… WOW.
The apartment itself was a place I’d happily call home; great AC, Wi-Fi, comfortable beds, a washer and even some spare outlet converters for electronics. We couldn’t figure out how to get the TV to work, but shame on me for even wanting to turn it on in the first place (lol), there’s so much to see outside.
Stefano was a lovely host as well. After an exhausting 20+ hours of travel we had a bit of trouble finding the lockbox & opening the door, but luckily he was there to help us out and even carried our obnoxiously over-packed luggage up the flight of stairs.
In short… I would live here for the rest of my days if I could. GRAZIE MILLE, Stefano!!
