I would stay here before choosing any location on the other side of the river. It is quiet, nice and beautiful and walking distance to great restaurants, plazas, local artisans, and cafes. The location was perfect.
The only thing better than the apartment was the host. Tomassa met us at the apartment for check-in and showed us everything. He gave us a great list of recommended restaurants and wine shops. You could feel his love and enthusiasm for the city, so it was a great way to be introduced to Florence.
I highly recommend this location and will try to stay here again if we are ever able to return.
