The apartment is located in a well kept building and quiet neighbourhood within walking distance to the train station. All of the communal building elements; buttons for large, principal entry door, gate and elevator work well. Load your bags in the elevator, send the elevator up, and walk up the stairs to the apartment’s entrance, the elevator stops right by the apartment door.
The apartment is very well appointed and provides the historical atmosphere with some modern finishing touches. It is very spacious and well laid out. There are 3 generous sized bedrooms with comfortable bedding and pillows. There are air conditioning units in the bedrooms. There are two complete washrooms; one offering more of a glamorous look while the other offers more of the traditional Italian look. The kitchen and living room allow for ample living space and visiting. The high ceilings throughout the apartment certainly contribute to the spaciousness, and their colourful frescoes will definitely catch your attention and make you look up and admire. We did not make much use of the kitchen though it did seem to be well equipped. There are two terrazze; one overlooking the park and facing the neighbourhood, and the other on the opposite side, facing other well kept buildings in the neighbourhood. Wifi is offered, though during our stay it was not the most reliable. This was discussed with the host who was responsive and timely, and did their best to provide suggestions and solutions.
The host communicates well, even from before your stay!
We enjoyed our walks to the Ponte Vecchio, and notable churches of the area too. Art, architecture and culture can all be experienced within about a 15minute walk from the apartment. We wanted to experience a bit more of the local culture and achieved just that by staying at this location and getting to know and enjoying the neighbourhood on the way to more major sites.
We’d love to stay here again, and recommend it!
