I enjoyed my stay at Ramin and Eleonora’s lovely little apartment in the Santo Spirito neighborhood. The location was a bit removed from the train station and main sights, but only took about 15 minutes to get to the city center and SMN on foot. It was very close to Pitti Palace, as they are on the same side of the Arno River. The apartment itself was lovely and bright, and I slept quite well. There are curtains over the windows which helps to block the light, and the street below was quiet. Ramin was very prompt with any questions I had, which was very helpful for my first visit to Florence. He even left a bottle of wine for me, which came in very handy after long days of touring and trekking around Florence! As a single female traveler, the only thing I would say is that the apartment is located down a long and quiet street that is not overly trafficked. I never once felt unsafe by any means, but I did stay on alert when I was walking back alone at night. Again, the neighborhood is fine and I never felt unsafe, just something to be aware of if you are a woman traveling alone. Oh, and there are some lovely restaurants in the area, including l’Brendellone which had the best pasta I had in my two week trip throughout Italy.
