Walter was a great host. He met us at the apartment and gave us helpful hints for local food and wine. The apartment is very comfortable (the bed's a bit hard), warm and homey. It's located away from the tourist areas but a short walk to everything. A couple of blocks to the Pitti Palace, which is just a few blocks from the Ponte Vecchio. A very nice neighborhood with local shops. The apartment has everything you need. My wife got sick and Walter provided us very helpful advice on finding a doctor and all turned out well. The toilet is a bit of a challenge, it's up five steep steps, and the shower is in a separate location. Overall, it is a great place and we would highly recommend it. Walter is a great host.
