We loved our stay here and Anna Isabella were wonderful and hospitable hosts. There is a large, automatic iron gate that separates your private retreat from the street and you enter through a beautiful landscaped alley. The courtyard is shared with a few other apartments and a working greenhouse area, but we never saw or heard another guest during our stay. It was very peaceful and just a few steps from an entrance to the Boboli Gardens. The apartment had completely updated kitchen with modern appliances, cooking and dinnerware etc. that opened directly into the courtyard. There was also a modern updated full bathroom on this floor and a small sitting/dining area. The two bedrooms were each on a separate floor with comfortable beds and clothes storage. There is a half bath off of third floor bedroom. When we arrived late after a long travel day both hosts were there to personally greet us and let us in and provided a list of local dining options and attractions. In addition, they provided a bowl of fresh fruit and a few refrigerated goodies. All communication was timely and clear. On departure day they even arranged a taxi to the airport and helped us with our bags. Overall, a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend!
