Gorgeous, upscale apartment in the perfect location. Can't say enough about how wonderful this space was. The host gave clear, detailed, timely instructions for everything. Easy entry to both the building and apartment. There is a nice lift located on the ground floor (very nice for a party with lots of luggage).
The apartment was very spacious and clean. Large closets with plenty of space for storage of clothes/luggage. Comfortable seating throughout, large beds that were not too firm or too soft, and a nicely sized, equipped kitchen. Both bedrooms have some jaw-dropping tapestries that stretch wall-to-wall on the ceilings, truly incredible. The location is steps away from the Basilica of Santa Croce, a wonderful spot to eat gelato after dinner and a delightful 5 minute walk from both the Uffizi Gallery and Piazza della Signoria. There is plentiful, delicious, highly-rated food surrounding the apartment (just remember to make reservations well in advance!), as well as a market for water/snacks right around the corner.
The bedroom on the street side can get a bit noisy at night, as the area is quite lively. But it wasn't loud enough to disrupt sleep for us. Also, the A/C systems in the bedrooms did not seem to cool very much. However, despite the heat of the day, the rooms stayed at a comfortable temperature.
We will certainly be back. Thanks so much, Marco!
