The apartment is very well situated, a wonderful base for seeing all that Florence offers. The 5 flights of stairs are well worth the view and privacy of this comfortable, tasteful apartment and stunning patio, overlooking Ponte Vecchio and giving a taste of Florentine living. The apartment had the initial necessities when we arrived and Guido was very accommodating telling us where the supermarket was and to get there early as 7pm was the rush hour. We were able to make arrangements with him to have a late check out. Guido is easy to communicate with and he lives only 5 minutes away if you require anything of him. We would not want to stay anywhere else when we return to Florence.
