I would give Beth Ann and Claudio's apartment more than five stars if possible. It is located on a quiet street, filled with antique and curio shops., little markets and bars. There is a supermarket just a minute away. In two minutes you are at the entrance to the Boboli Gardens and in five, the Pitti Palace. The Ponte Vecchio is around a 12-minute walk. The apartment is clean, comfortable and quiet. The kitchen is fully equipped, the appliances are new and the bed is large and comfortable. There is even a washing machine. Best of all, for me, was the charming and private little back garden- so peaceful to sit in after a long day of sightseeing. The apartment is larger than it appears in the photos. It is furnished with a wonderful collection of antiques, books and curios that express the artistic sensibility of the owners. There is even a piano. Beth Ann and Claudio met me at the door with friendly smiles and enthusiasm. They explained the apartment to me and made me feel comfortable. I would definitely stay there again. This unique apartment helped make my visit to Florence memorable.
