I cannot recommend this apartment or Lorenzo enough; he was so friendly and was available to answer all of my questions even before I checked in. Once I was here, he was always available and his parents (who are also so friendly and helpful) live right next door so you never have to wait for long if there's a problem or you would like some advice. The real selling point for this apartment is the terrace... it is simply beautiful. I was here for a long stay and when it was cold in town in the winter the terrace was warm as it had the sun on it and in summer it was cool because it is open and there was a breeze. I love being on this side of the river as it is "less touristy" and you get to spend time with the real locals. There is a supermarket, delicatessen, bakery and café all within a two-minute walking distance as well as several restaurants and bars. Mon- Sat there is also a little market where you can buy fresh produce. The apartment has all of the amenities that you need: air con, washing machine, oven etc. You are right next to the Porta San Frediano which is a beautiful historic archway. It is about a 20-minute walk to the town centre, but it is a lovely one as you cross the river. I am sure if you go for this apartment, you won't be disappointed. I really had a great time here.
