Fabulous apartment - lovely and roomy, quiet outdoor space and well equipped kitchen - pots, pans, utensils etc. It has been decorated in keeping with the original use which makes it original and quirky - we loved this.
Location was fabulous for us - we cold walk into the centre within 5-10 minutes and it was much more peaceful than the north side of the river. Less than 5 mins walk to Pitti Palace and lovely Boboli Gardens.
Taxi took about 10 mins from the station and cost 15 Euros for 4 of us.
Plenty of small cafes, bars and restaurants within minutes walk - so you could stay local if you wanted.
Couple of excellent cafes for breakfast - turn left out of apartment and then turn left or right when get to next road and you come across typical Italian cafes.
This same road also has a couple of small food shops including an amazing meat and cheese shop - we found these very useful to make light grazing meals at lunch or evening.
If you go left out of apt, then right and then at the next road go right - there is a very good fruit and veg shop and a well stocked wine shop with a friendly owner. This is all within 5 mins walk.
Antonio was our main point of contact and was super helpful - we sadly did not meet him as working when arrived. He managed this situation well with Elizabetta being there to check us in. There were contact numbers to ask for help and we also texted e.g. Antonio arranged a taxi to take us back to station as our Italian was not good enough.
