As others have noted, the location is terrific for anyone wanting a good base for exploring Florence. The Pitti Palace and Ponte Vecchio are close by, and the great sights on the other side of the river are not much farther--very pleasant walking in all directions. It's wonderful to be just steps away from the Piazza Santo Spirito, where market stalls are set up in the morning and diners mob the restaurants in the evening. Great for people watching! (One small downside of being so close to this lively square is that on weekends, in the summer at least, the noise late at night can be loud--but the electric fan in the apartment helps to muffle the sound.) The apartment is spacious, with a nice shower, a good bed, and a well-stocked kitchen. Tommaso met us on the street when we arrived, gave us the lowdown on the apartment, and was immediately responsive when we called a few days later about a light bulb that needed replacing. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our nine-day stay in our Oltrarno digs.
