If you want to feel like a local, and get to know a neighborhood without crashing into tourist after tourist, then this is the place for you! This apartment is clean, comfortable, lovely, quaint, and charming, as are the host’s, (Bitte’s Parents), whom will greet you and give you lay of the land. They provided us with directions, recommendations and a marked map to help us navigate the area by either walking, bus or taxi, they even called us a taxi when it was time to leave for the train station. We loved coming home to this peaceful apartment after our crowded, noisy days in the main square/piazza. Grocery, bus stop, parks, and a very nice restaurant, (Casa Paloma), are all within a 5 to 10 minute walk. The 1930’s windows and doors are extremely well made, and blend well with the modern kitchen, and furnishings. The bed is comfortable, and room stays dark. I loved hanging my clothes to dry, and making the coffee each morning Italian style, and drinking it on the balcony like a true Italian!
Just a note here; there is no television, (which was fine for me as I love to read, and as too busy site seeing to want to watch t.v.), and no A/C, (which worked out because the apartment has very thick walls and great windows/shutters to keep the heat out). Also in Italy first floor means second floor for Americans, (must be able to climb stairs). We will definitely stay here again if The Fates should ever bring us back to stunning Florence, Italy!
