Beautiful place with bags of character in a prime position. It was a dream to escape the relatively hectic inner city across the river to the Oltrarno area where there are plenty of brilliant bars and restaurants. If I had to stay anywhere in Florence, it would be this place.
Yes the apartment is quirky, with a tiny bathroom and kitchen, but it is stylishly put together and wonderfully unique. There are a few flights of stairs as well, but the host Giovanni met us outside and carried our 20kg bag the whole way up, so you can be assured of extremely kind and generous hosts! Ultimately the perfect launching pad for exploring the city on foot, close enough to all the attractions but less crowded than some other areas. Couldnt recommend this place highly enough.
