We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting our daughter in Florence. It was her suggestion to stay on the this side of the river and we are so glad we did. The apartment looks exactly like the pictures, but it is even more beautiful in person. The attention to detail is amazing. The rooms are so comfortable and very quiet. The showers are a good size. Internet worked great. There are a few flights of stairs to walk up so plan your packing accordingly. The paid car parking is about a 10 minute walk away and was about 30 euros a day. Maurizio was very responsive to all of my texts and emails through air BNB. He met us at the apartment as planned and even had a bottle of wine at the apartment for us. Plenty of restaurants and wine bars in walking distance from the apartment and only about a 15 minute walk across the river to the Duomo and all the other attractions. I am so glad we stayed on this side of the river at this beautiful apartment. If it is available book it!
