Quaint and complete. Arriving at Florence, we made our way to the apartment and Veronica called to ensure we got the right place. Stepping into the place, i would say that it looks multiple times better than the pictures shown. As with everything in Florence, pictures pales in comparison with the actual thing. The ambience, furniture and general feel of this place gave a special reception. Veronica was an amazing host who took the time to share with us her love for Tuscany, food and sights. We felt so ready to explore after hearing her passion. Some places are meant to be for rest and sleep, but we took the time to enjoy the apartment. From the antique furniture to books we could read, its a home-base like no other. Its located across the river from all the sights hence its not touristy, has a strong local feel and district and a joy to walk back to every night. Good food around too. The apartment is just less than 5 mins away from the bridge, 10 mins from the Uffizi, 30 mins from the Academia de' Galleria. Best place to be in, start with and to retreat to in Florence.
