Wanted to be a little outside of the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to comfortably walk everywhere we needed. This location is perfect for that! We ended up starting every day at the Cibreo Caffe with a cappuccino before going out and about. There’s also a Carrefour grocery within about 100 steps for essentials. And an ATM right across from that! Not much noise from the street if you close the windows, but very cool to leave them open and just take in the sounds from an authentic Italian neighborhood. I had thought there were two beds from the pics, but upon arrival saw that the couch pulls out and serves perfectly well as a second. The apartment is just SUPER charming! And the balcony is awesome as well, although in late July, it is HOT HOT HOT! But we would relax and unwind after a long day when the sun went behind the nearby building and it was fabulous! Very quiet up there too, as it faces inward to the block. Full kitchen is super useful but I would add an extra ice rack for the summertime heat. Giulia has a notebook full of helpful information that should be read cover to cover! Walking to the Ponte Vecchio bridge will take about 15 minutes but it’s not a hardship since you see so many stores along the way and end up shopping or gawking the whole way there. 🤣. The only bad note on an otherwise great stay was my need for a taxi at 0400 in the morning of my departure. I had contacted Giulia the day before to get help arranging it but she responded that they dont take reservations in advance. But she did give me two numbers to call. Please note that there is no “House phone” in the apartment so you have to call from your cell phone when you need one. I did call and they DO speak English like so many Italians do, and it seemed to be fine. But my taxi never arrived. I called again to ask and it seemed fine again and also never arrived. I texted Giulia early in the morning to ask for help as I was getting desperate after an hour of waiting outside and she didn’t respond. Turns out she was out of town and has small children and I don’t hold this against her, it was just a bad set of circumstances that almost ended with me missing my flight. The only reason I made it to my gate with ten minutes to spare is that a taxi arrived (not the one I called for) and after I broke down in tears, he consented to take me to the airport and I had a 1st class ticket to get me through security faster. Otherwise this vacation would have been twice as expensive!!!! Overall, plan to leave at a decent time and you can ask the Cibreo caffe owner to call you one!
