Alessandra gave my wife and me a very warm welcome and thoughtfully provided us with a nice bottle of wine, coffee, bottled water and ample, helpful advice. She was very kind.

Thoughtfully restored by Alessandra and her husband, the apartment is beautiful, immaculate and very tastefully furnished. The kitchen was very well-equipped. Hot water was plentiful, and the air-conditioning worked well. We felt very secure there. As one would expect in an apartment overlooking a reasonably busy street, there was some noise from passing traffic in the mornings, though it was quiet at night. It was great fun to be able to look out on the activity on the street below and at the beautiful buildings surrounding us.

The location is especially convenient, around the corner from the Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens and within a few minutes' walk of the Ponte Vecchio. There is a nice supermarket, Conad, near the Ponte Vecchio on the Via del Bardi. There are also plenty of nice restaurants within easy walking distance.

We highly recommend this apartment.
