This apartment was a great place for my teenage son and I to stay on our first visit to Florence. The view of Ponte Vecchio is exactly as promised, and it is an easy walk from the apartment to the river, the Uffizi, and the Duomo. Barbara was an excellent hostess - she was easy to communicate with, both before and during our stay. We arrived by car after a day driving through Tuscany, but she was very accommodating of our uncertain and rather later arrival time. She was helpful with suggestions for restaurant (we absolutely loved the casual place next door!) and nearby laundry place. She also kindly booked a taxi for us for our departure date. The apartment has everything you need, assuming you don't mind doing your laundry elsewhere and don't plan on doing major cooking. The bathroom and shower were fine. The main bed was comfortable. My son slept on the sofa bed in the living room, and he was comfortable as well. We would recommend this apartment.
