Looked just like the pictures. Excellent location!! Beautiful view of the river from the bedroom balcony - nice place to drink coffee and people watch. Great restaurants ( including a great vegetarian place - Il Carducco) and grocery store nearby. Skip the normal tourist places and try the awarding winning gelato place Gelataria della Passera down one of the side streets near the Pitti Palace and many other restaurants frequented by the locals. DEFINATELY the right side of the river to stay on!
