For anyone who wants to be close all key sites and the vastly improved restaurants in the less touristic Oltrano, this is an ideal rental. The surprisingly spacious balcony offers a million-euro vista yet the bedrooms are fairly well isolated from street noise. The living room and balcony do get the music performances from the Ponte Vecchio but only a minor issue for those who may not care for the singing. The second bedroom is more of a reasonable attic space so four adults may feel pressed for space.

Marusca is attentive and professional, as was Joanna, the agent who met us. The elevator made life easy with only a one flight walk up to the top floor. In short, a very comfortable, engaging rental in an area with many less appealing options. Location and panorama the best.
