We stayed in the apartment for an extended weekend on a visit to Florence. We were impressed with the apartment and happy to use it as a basis to explore oldtown Florence.
The apartment is on the first floor of a classic building, newly renovated and very nicely appointed. Each of the three main rooms with 6 meter high ceilings now features a gallery with a double bed. One of these rooms also functions as the living/dining room. There are also two modern bath rooms and a fully equipped kitchen. The living room opens to a little terrace so you can step outside. The other two rooms are situated towards the street. Yes, you can hear people and cars (and scooters) from the street, but we did not find that disturbing, it rather reminded us of being in the center of an Italien city.
The apartment is located on a busy one lane one-way street on the other side of the river near Palazzo Piti. The street itself is very nice with interesting shops and old buildings. There are more shops and good restaurants in the neighborhood. Everything we wanted to see in Florence was within walking distance. The river, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi, and Boboli gardens just a few minutes away. We really felt in the heart of Florence, yet far enough removed from the main bustle.
Our hosts Lorenzo and Chiara were great. They were easy to reach via AirBnB messages, welcomed us and saw us off in a very friendly manner, allowed us to have an early check-in and late check-out on the basis that there were no immediate bookings before and after, presented a welcome package, provided restaurant proposals, and even helped us reserve a restaurant and cab. We felt like having friends in Florence.
We would not hesitate a moment to book this apartment again.
