The apartment was lovely and sparkling clean, spacious, and newly remodeled. Agathe, a sister in the family, met us at the apartment and showed us everything. A map was included and she showed us where we were on the map. They had previously given us very detailed directions on find the apartment from the train station, however, our train that morning from La Spezia was cancelled, and we arrived just in time to get to the concert we had booked. So they gave us directions from the concert hall to the apartment as well and were perfectly charming bout the lateness of our arrival. They were very responsive in communicating!
Agathe recommended Gigi's for dinner, just a few doors away, and it was wonderful. We wanted to go back the next night, but it was
Sunday and we arrived back from our sight-seeing a little too late. We would definitely recommend Gigi's, my husband's Tuscan Soup was outstanding. I had gnochetti with light cream and nuts, also excellent.
The Alimentary shop across the street from the aprtment had everything we needed for our breakfast on Monday, but it was closed on Sunday, so if you are there on a weekend, be sure to buy what you need early Saturday afternoon.
I absolutely loved staying there, and would stay there again if I return to Florence.
