We were welcomed by Matilde herself! The apt was on the top floor of the building, was larger than it appeared in the photos and was very clean and bright. The bedroom is at the back of the apt, facing the Boboli Garden, the large windows allow the sun rise into the window - a lovely quiet vista to wake up to! This is not a tourist neighborhood, but a place that you can feel part of with a few cafes and pastry shops. Matilde recommended a restaurant just a short walk away: Il Guscio, which was our favorite meal while in Florence. Everything was "just right" with the apartment, neighborhood, cleanliness and hospitality. Fantastic!
