This apartment was lovely, very clean, and larger than we had expected from the photos. The bed was also extremely comfortable and we slept well. We stayed 10 days and the central location was very convenient to things on both sides of the Arno. The building itself is lovely and seems to be a mix of retail storage on the ground floor and residential above. The elevator is small but worked well when were too tired from a marathon session at the Uffizi to even think about any more stairs.

The construction mentioned in an earlier comment was just about complete by the time we left, so it's likely done by now, but it wasn't much of a problem anyway. The work was mostly being done while we were gone and wasn't bothersome at all while we were there during the day. The cheering from the crowd down the street watching the ACF Fiorentina match one night was the only time I would call the street noise loud, otherwise just the dull murmur of a busy urban environment.

The kitchen was fairly well equipped with a few knives, cutting boards, various pots and pans and and a full set of plates and glasses. We cooked several full meals in it and served us very well. We used the Bialetti Moka Express to make a couple little stovetop espressos every morning so make sure you know how to use one of those before you go. There were a few spices and oils supplied in the kitchen but the grocery store just across the river is very easy to get to and the other markets were just a few minutes walk away.

The bathroom was clean, bright and spacious and the hot water was always good and strong.

The internet was strong and solid, we used it a lot to stay in touch and upload photos with no problems.

We only used the washer once and it worked well once we figured out the controls.

I would gladly recommend staying with Guido. He was a gracious host and very friendly. We felt welcomed and comfortable here and will reach out to him again when we come back to visit.
