The apartment is located on a mostly quiet block in a residential area. It has virtually no car or motorbike traffic and few people walk down this street. The main bed is clearly new and firm— very comfortable. The pullout couch is also comfortable and there are plenty of good pillows and towels.
Tomasso was very friendly and offered good suggestions and answered questions quickly. He’s an affable host.
The washer is great, but since the apartment is cool, the clothes don’t really dry. There is a lavanderia Express Wash about two blocks away and their extra-large dryers will dry whatever you wash fairly quickly. (We washed a few times because we have kids.) And even though it is cooler inside than on the street, if it gets too humid, there’s an air conditioner that works well.
There are nice restaurants nearby, a few bus stops, and an affordable bread bakery with excellent tomato and mozzarella wraps. Need a suggestion? Tomasso has lots.
It’s a short 10 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio and then other tourist spots.
My only complaint is that the toilet runs (so makes a quick but noticeable noise) periodically through the night that you can hear in the bedroom. If you are a light sleeper, you may be startled by it. If you sleep well, you might hear it once and then will sleep through the rest.
It’s a great, basic apartment and we would rent it again.
