We just spent 9 nights at Gaia and Pietro's apartment in the center of Florence.
It is located in a very old building in an excellent location (about 1/4 block to the Arno River) and 2 bridges away from the Ponte Vecchio. It's a few flights up to the apartment ~ but once you are there, you are welcomed by an elegant large living room with soaring ceilings. There are 2 bedrooms plus a loft & 3 full bathrooms. The 2 bedrooms on the upper level are each en suite. Perfect for a family or couples traveling together. The small kitchen is well equipped and perfect for breakfast and occasional dinner. The check-in process was seamless and leading up to the trip, communication via email was very quick with the hosts. The apartment was very clean (linens, bathrooms, towels, etc. )
The location is fantastic and we were able to easily walk to tourist sites, restaurants and shopping. The parking garage was simple as well. We wish we could have stayed longer!!
Truly a wonderful vacation!!
