The apartment was perfect for myself and my friends. Daria and her son were terrific. We had some initial problems with the email and Leonardo immediately came by with an expert and installed a new router. I was in Florence while my private home was being rehabbed and can only say that staying in the apartment was identical to being in my home in that it is in a great area of the Oltrano, directly opposite the Carmine square. It is only a ten minute walk to the Palazzo Vecchio and has some of my favorite restaurants within a short stroll. This is the perfect place to get a feel for actually living in Florence.
