Lorenzo was a friendly and very helpful host. Both his father upon arrival and Lorenzo upon departure helped us with our luggage up and down the steep stairs over four flights and called a taxi. They were very welcoming with fruit and a bottle of red wine in the fridge. Thank you once again!
The flat is fairly central, not far from Ponte Vecchio, located on a hill on the left bank of the Arno with a fantastic panoramic view. The veranda is lovely. Over New Year’s Eve it provided great views of the city’s fireworks.
The flat is comfortable for two people. However, the kitchen is quite small and the bedroom has a fairly low ceiling, so feels a bit narrow. On the whole, the kitchen is well equipped but could do with some more glasses, dishes and cutlery, which seem to be somewhat thrown together. Towels and bed linen were of good quality, and the flat was altogether clean. It took some practice to operate the toilet flushing system in the bathroom.
The flat has a nice feel to it but it is difficult to heat. As there is no insulation, wind and cold come in. The walls were cold, and particularly the bathroom remained icy cold.
Overall, the flat makes for a great stay and must be recommended, but not necessarily in winter.
