Barbara’s apartment was in a great location for visiting everywhere in Florence on foot. The welcome wine was great and a teething problem was sorted out very quickly. There were a few noise issues with the neighbours above especially at the weekend when they appeared to keep irregular hours with some partying and shouting in the middle of the night but I think that’s the nature of thin walls in old buildings and is to be expected so some ear plugs are advised to guarantee an interrupted nights sleep. The bathroom and shower is fantastic and the bed is very comfortable with extra blankets to keep you warm. One thing to note is that all of the electricity is switched off when you take the key out of the flat so maybe wise not to leave any delicate perishables in the fridge/freezer for too long. It wasn’t an issue for us as we brought food in as needed.
There is an amazing shop on the road which makes fresh pasta and I highly recommend the spinach and ricotta ravioli with the fresh pesto. It was so good that we had it for 3 nights in a row. There is also a very nice cafe/bar just up the road for a spritz.
All in all a great stay and I will definitely come back.
Thanks Barbara for the wine and being very responsive.
