Fantastic location in the Santo Spirito neighborhood in the Oltrarno district. High ceilings with exposed beams, has a very authentic feel. Quiet apartment building, hardly heard any noise from any other neighbors. Fairly quiet street for Florence, especially being just a few blocks from a great local piazza and lots of great restaurants. Michele was a great host with prompt communication, taking us on a tour, setting up the place with a crib to accommodate our toddler, coordinating a babysitter, checking openings for the public pool and calling a taxi for us. It was such a help to have a local to make some key phone calls for us. The place has everything you need and is a cool retreat in the middle of the hot days. Fans are provided to help keep cool at night. Was plenty spacious for our family of four for a week and a half.
