This place is the PERFECT Florence getaway. It's beautifully located right by the Ponte Vecchio, with some amazing dining spots right out the front door. The building is very safe and the apartment is 3 flights up, which meant that we didn't hear the liveliness below as we slept after long days of sightseeing. You can walk to the shopping areas, the train station, the river and the museums fairly easily and the local bus line was easy to navigate as well.
The apartment itself is a perfect size and actually felt a little larger than the picture suggested. Lorenzo and Maria were there right as we arrived and checked us in quickly. They provided us with some lovely dining and shopping suggestions and were more than open to answering any follow up questions we had via text. The wifi in the apartment is wonderful, we were able to call home to our daughter easily. The space was neat and clean, and the lovely art on the walls was a nice touch. The air conditioner cooled the apartment down quickly, and when we wanted a nice breeze we were able to open the doors to the little balconette to bring in fresh air.
I seriously can't say enough about this place and felt lucky to be able to snag it in such a busy time! Our thanks to Maria and Lorenzo, you both made our stay in Florence wonderful.
