This apartment is gorgeous; even nicer than the pictures make out. It's furnished very carefully and the effect is both aesthetically pleasing but also practical and comfortable. There is plentiful hot water and very fast internet. The bedroom faces an internal courtyard, so is quiet at night and away from any street noise; the bed is also very comfortable. The apartment is in a lovely part of Florence, 10–15 minutes walk from the main attractions, but in an area that doesn't feel too busy or 'touristy'. An abundance of great places to eat and drink are nearby in Oltrarno, and there's also a well stocked supermarket less than 10 minutes walk. Patrizia is a fantastic host, very welcoming and friendly, easy to contact and to communicate with. We would stay here again and highly recommend it.
