We loved our place in Oltrarno! Being just on the other side of the Ponte vecchio was a great stroke of luck. It was much more quiet on this side and still within walking distance to everything we were wanting to see. We felt a bit more local as the apartment is right next to Piazza della Passera, a small square with restaurants and places to drink or snack, but still quiet. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable albeit the bed is hard. Then again, all in Italy are similar. Regardless, we would definitely stay in Oltrarno again as it was one of our favorite places. Lastly, one of the two best gelaterias we had in our entire trip was right in the square. Enjoy!
