We loved being in a place where all you hear is birdsong and the occasional church bell, and some distant chatter when the Bardini garden is open. No traffic, no noise from anywhere in the building. And the view is all greenery, the garden from below and the Bardini Garden. It felt special. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable, with lots of reading material. It is in a great location a short walk from the Uffizi, the Pitti Palace and the Piazzale Michelangelo with the iris and rose gardens nearby. We learnt how to manage the occasionally temperamental hot water. We would have liked a proper double bed but the two singles pushed together were pretty comfortable.
