We enjoyed our stay at Ludovica’s place. It’s within walking distance to the train station and a stone’s throw away from every imaginable tourist attraction that Florence has to offer. Walk down the street and you’re 2-3 minutes away from the Ponte Vecchio, cross it, turn right and there’s the Uffizi, the Palazzo Vecchio, the Bargello, the Duomo etc. Before reaching the Ponte Vecchio, you’ll find the short cut to Piazzale Michelangelo via the Porte di Belvedere. From the apartment, walk up the street and you’re right in front of the Palazzo Pitti and the Giardino di Boboli.
We spent 10 days in the apartment, if you travel light like we do, you’ll appreciate having a washing machine. I really liked that it has a fully functional kitchen to cook my delightful finds from the Mercato San Lorenzo and the Mercato Sant’Ambroggio.
While I didn’t meet Ludovica or Gianluca, Gianluca took good care of us even while he was away on vacation. He responded to my questions and my requests promptly before and during our stay. We arrived in Florence around 7:45 p.m., he made sure that someone was there to meet us and show us how things work and where everything is in the apartment.
Grazie mille!
