Our host wasn't there himself but his representative was there at the time arranged and got us into the appartment. The description was accurate and the accomodation met or exceeded our expectations. The location is excellent for a city break in Florence in the Altarno on the south side of the river, just a couple of minutes from the Ponte Vecchio. Two minutes walk to the bottom of the road and you can see the Uffizi and Galileo Museums across the river. Walk to the top of the road and you come to the Villa Bardini which has lots of cultural events going on - we attended a great concert, a string trio with lovely tea and cakes served afterwards there! A bit higher up and you come to the Forte Belvedere which has magnificent views over the whole of Florence. There is an excellent, quite large supermarket five minutes away, where you can buy all you need, their products were top quality.
