We arrived at this apartment and were met by Alessandro who told us that we were not staying in the apartment we booked, but another close by. The apartment was beautiful and significantly better than we had anticipated. It was on the fifth floor of the apartments adjoining the Ponte Vecchio with the most magnificent views of the bridge and Florence. The apartment was much bigger and had a terrace that was perfect for pre dinner drinks. We had two bedrooms and two bathrooms and after struggling with our luggage up and down stairs through Paris and Venice, the lift was a welcome relief.
The apartment was handy to walk everywhere and there is a supermarket across the road and many places to eat nearby. We asked Alessandro for a recommendation for dinner and went to one of his recommendations that night and the following night it was so good - Osteria del Cinghiale Bianco. Beautiful food and just around the corner. We enjoyed every minute in Florence and would recommend this apartment highly
