Our stay at Boboli was very nice. It is located in a convenient neighborhood. There are two minimarts, one sizeable grocery store, a bakery, and a sweet Cafe Boboli just a few steps in either direction. All of the Florence attractions I wanted to see are within easy and pleasant walking distance. So is the train station. Bus 11 connecting to bus 7 going to Fiesole is also just steps away.
The apartment itself is very pleasing and very Italian. It is in an old building so there are heavy wooden doors, shutters and a beamed ceiling in the bedroom. Whoever painted the walls was an artist. The walls are flat but the paint job is precise and creates the illusion of three dimensions i.e. wainscoting and floor boards. The decor and design touches are beautiful; well placed and well chosen. The beds are comfortable. The apartment is on the street and there is some noise once in a while but it is very much a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the center of Florence. Antonella is readily available, responsive and most willing to make sure we were comfortable and well supplied.
I would stay here again on any future visit to Florence.
