Lapo's place is simply amazing. Its location is perfect (half a block from Arno River and 2 blocks from Piazza Sta. Maria Novella). We literally walked everywhere in Florence. The place is beautiful and spacious. The kitchen is perfectly equipped. The building itself is historic and the ceilings in the apartment are something else (frescoes in the kitchen!). There were special touches like a bottle of wine to welcome us and breakfast goodies. Nicoletta who checked us in was very helpful with all our questions. Just a note if you are coming by car and need a place to park your vehicle: you can't drive into the street, as you need a special permit. We parked in a garage in the street around the corner, there is a garage across the street from the property but it is a bit expensive and didn't have good reviews. We highly recommend Garage Excelsior in Via Palazzuolo. We would return any time and would recommend this place to our friends!
