My wife and I spent a wonderful month, in this perfectly located, charming Italian apartment. The apartment is in just the right place to truly enjoy Florence. The Oltrarno is the perfect section of Florence, the restaurants are better, and more reasonably priced than the tourist section, and it was nice to mingle with the locals at dinner, instead of other tourists. The Ponte Vecchio bridge, is steps away from the door, so if you do want the tourist side of the city, it is right there. It was easy to go sightseeing, and then go back home to freshen up, or rest before going out again.
The apartment is perfectly appointed, and very livable. For two people it was perfect and comfortable, giving us a full living room with a comfortable set up and couch, and it’s own balcony. The bedroom was also spacious, With a balcony, and a very comfortable bed, The bathroom was clean and very functional which also had a washer and dryer, which was very convenient. The water pressure in the shower was excellent. Even the hairdryer, was great!
The kitchen was a perfect galley kitchen with all of the essentials, including a perfect little Italian espresso maker, which we learned to use and enjoyed every morning. This is a perfect set up, down to the side tables in the hallway when you enter, the coat hanger, the mirror’s, just before you leave the apartment. everything was very convenient and set up for someone to live there. Part of the reason we like to travel is to experience the feeling of the place, And this apartment gives a true feeling of living in Italy. There is a small supermarket just around the corner and a local fruit market just across the street which is very convenient. The restaurants in the neighborhood are phenomenal, we are foodies and have traveled the world and some of the best meals we have had were in that neighborhood.
The owner Susan, was very helpful with all of the details of our stay.
We highly recommend this apartment.
