My host Pamela was waiting exactly on time in front of the building.
We recognized each other immediately and Pamela made me feel most welcome and explaining each key and door sequence on the way to the apartment on level 3 , elevator in building !. And what a beautiful and unique apartment it is ! and very generous in space.
Everything you require for your stay is provided for.
The apartment is 16 Century and has been beautifully remodeled by the Architect/owner , modernized but still retaining the character of Florence with terracotta tile floors and heavy timber beams.
This is an apartment where everything works well, you immediately feel relaxed and at home.
From the moment you walk through the huge electrically assisted timber door onto the street you are among the best boutiques in Florence.
After spending a week here i can truly say there is no other location in Florence i would rather be, and must be the quietest apartment in central Florence. Convenience stores for provisions are only a few doors away in street and the taxi rank a short 4 minute walk in Piazza Republica ( or a taxi can be phoned )
This is a quiet building of owner/occupiers.
If I could live in Florence......this is exactly where i would want to live, its perfect.
