John's apartment is located in a gorgeous heritage setting and is a stone's throw away from all the major tourist attractions as well as shopping areas, grocery stores and eating places. The apartment itself is spacious and well appointed and the kitchen was well stocked with the basic amenities that we needed. John was extremely pleasant and easily reachable at any point during our visit and we had a brilliant time in Florence overall because of the proximity of the apartment to all the areas we wished to explore. There are a couple of things that I would like to point out though that larger groups or families with younger children should be aware of: one is that although there are two shower areas in the apartment, one is located in the tiniest of bathrooms and literally sits on top of the WC area thus rendering one completely incapable of having any sort of shower without practically flooding the entire bathroom. We had to manage with one shower stall and learned to deal with it so it wasn't that much of a problem adjusting. Second, we were told that neighbors objected to the level of noise/activity in the apartment because our three young children were scurrying around the apartment occasionally when we were at home. This definitely put us on our guard and it did generate some anxiety on account of constantly having to supervise and prevent three young boys from being their usual boisterous selves. Again, it did not affect the quality of our stay there overall but we did not anticipate this reaction from the neighbors to what we had never encountered as a problem in any of our previous AirBnB stays globally. I trust it is the result of inhabiting a beautiful heritage palace building where the occupants are accustomed to more peace and quiet and that is perfectly understandable. All in all, we had a brilliant time and would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to explore gorgeous Firenze.
