We had a great stay in this apartment and were warmly welcomed by Luca and his colleague, Alessandro. The apartment is in a super location for exploring Florence with the Ufizzi gallery only a couple of minutes stroll over the bridge and the Pitti Palace a couple of minutes away in the other direction. There are plenty of bars, cafes, restaurants and shops in the area to enjoy and there was a great atmosphere in the surrounding streets.

The apartment was clean and tidy and perfectly comfortable for 2 people. The bedroom had air conditioning, which was welcome, and shutters to keep out the light at night, which is helpful as the bridge and surroundings are lit up. The kitchen is pretty compact and the decoration needs a little freshening up, as you would expect towards the end of the season but, all in all, we thought it was very comfortable.

Suggestions for restaurants were provided in the apartment and the one that we tried for lunch, the Trattoria Accadi, provided very good cooking for extremely good value (12 euros for a 2 course lunch including a glass of decent wine).

We chose to walk to the apartment from the railway station, which took us about 20 mins or so, but there are plenty of taxis if you want to get there quicker.

I would certainly stay here again if we come back to Florence.
