Friendly welcome, a bottle of wine, some water and fruit. Really well stocked kitchen even with olive oil from their own trees. Delish! The flat is very spacious and comfortable, updated bathrooms, very comfortable beds, linens and ample towels. There is some construction noise from work going on in the building. It's periodic and doesn't last all day so I imagine most people won't be affected by it. The location is great, on the other side of the Arno (which means fewer crowds)but literally a minute from the Ponte Vecchico and 5 minutes to the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. Everything is within a 15-20 minute walk, max. Lovely grocery store in a few minutes walk. We truly enjoyed the stay, the city and our hosts.
