This apartment is wonderful! First off, the location could not be better. It is pretty much next to the Ponte Vecchio, meaning actually on the same street and you can see it from the balcony. The restoration is fabulous, modern while preserving the original charm of the building. The light pours in through the large french doors off the balcony, and we really enjoyed standing up there and looking down onto the streets. There is an elevator which is old and tiny as you might expect in the center of Firenze, but it really came in handy in helping us move the luggage up and down.
We had a car and were able to park in Garage delle Terme (highly recommended for avoiding the ZTL), which is about a 2-3 minute walk from the apartment. On the morning we left, we pulled our car into the convenient parking area of the building in order to load up our luggage. Very convenient!
Grazia was a fantastic host. She was there in an instant to help us with any minor issue, and although we did a self check in, we were glad to meet her in person during our stay. You can tell she really cares about the apartment, and we really appreciated that she was present for us. It goes a long way toward making for a great stay. I have visited Florence many times and this was the best Airbnb I've had there by far. I absolutely want to return to Grazia's apartment next time I come back.
