Amazing, amazing location and wonderful space. This flat is directly across the river from the Uffizi gallery and about half a block from the Ponte Vecchio. Groceries, restaurants, bars, wine shops, and gelateria are next door to this property with a upper story corner view. Although we were only 2 couples, the space could support a large family, a group of friends, or other gathering. There are 4 separate bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a large dining area with a table that could easily seat 8-10, a massive gas range in a stainless steel kitchen that is well stocked with all the cutlery, dishes, pots and pans needed.
The host is very thorough with check-in procedures. He is a fair but exacting property owner. It is understandable considering the effort he has lavished on this apartment.
There are two policies for which some advance planning is required. 1) The host requires a cash deposit of €250.00 to cover utility usage and any damages. 2) The flat is located inside the no car zone of Firenze. There is a parking garage in the basement of the building. If you park there, they will assure that your car is not fined. The cost per day is €55.00 cash, no credit accepted, payable each time the car departs the garage. I would recommend public transport, or park offsite and take a cab to the flat.
Our party agrees that this stay was the highlight of our Italy holiday.
