The Albizi Tower apartment places you in the middle of everything. Central to all of the sites on our itinerary, wonderful restaurants, amazing shopping and you feel that you are immersed in day to day Florentine life. There is a dance studio on the ground floor of the building and to see the children picked up from class by a parent on a bike...what could make you feel less like a tourist?
The apartment itself is beautiful, well laid out, and the private patio with two seating areas (1 with a table for enjoying your meals al fresco and the other perfect for afternoon wine and cheese with a spectacular view of the Duomo). The kitchen is stocked with essentials and we arrived to a welcome bottle of Chianti next to a guest book full of easy to understand instructions, answers to questions and recommendations which we fully appreciated.
Matteo was incredibly helpful and responsive to all of our needs, including making taxi reservations for our VERY early morning departure.
All in all I cannot express how much we enjoyed our stay.
