The apartment is nothing short of magical, and Ginevre's warmth and hospitality are just as wonderful. It is a large, spacious and airy apartment with unimaginable views over the Piazza Santa Croce. The veranda, of course, is where we spent most of our time, but the entire apartment was clean, beautifully decorated, and every detail was considered. The apartment itself was the best part of our trip to Florence- it feels wonderful to enter the sanctuary of the apartment and yet still be "out" and part of the city; to enjoy it from above. :-) Ginevra, as I said, was by far the most pleasant, helpful, warm and hospitable hostess we have ever come across. I would recommend this beautiful place wholeheartedly- as long as you don't have a problem with stairs. We stayed with our 3 year old boy and went up and down a few times a day and it was no problem at all. It is well worth the little climb to sit among the rooftops of Florence overlooking the Piazza and right next to one of the most historic churches in the city. The bells, by the way, do not chime (much to our pleasant surprise). Thanks again to Ginevra for her gracious hospitality!
