Riccardo’ a place was in an excellent location-a little removed from the high traffic tourist areas but close to lots of cafes, shops and best of all the Ponte Vecchio. We enjoyed being near the bridge and taking advantage of the beautiful views of the river and the frequent small bands and street performers who entertained the crowds. Riccardo made check-in and out very simple. He met us at check-in and made sure we knew all the details of the apartment as well as giving us recommendations for restaurants, activities and necessary services such as groceries, ATM, etc. we had a wonderful time in Florence and Ricardo’s home was a big part of it!
