My husband, daughter and I spent 4 nights at this apartment, which was so convenient to the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens, shops and restaurants, and a great oasis to come back to after spending the day exploring. It was only 1 flight of stairs up (which seems minimal for Italy) and then you are home to welcome air conditioning (also not existent in many places) and a comfortable bed. Though small, everything was well organized and well thought-out so it didn’t feel tight. Yet it was comfy. My daughter had her own pull out bed in the dining/living room, which did leave no couch (we could have folded it up every day), and the kitchen had all the utensils and cups/plates you need. We did not cook there, but you could cook something simple. We did use the washing machine which held more than you think. There is ample closet space in the front/bedroom. It did not have views, but we were mainly there to sleep and relax in evenings. Shower was good. Chiara was patient waiting for us as we were delayed in arriving. Prior to our visit, she gave me a lot of information, for example, advising us where to stay in a hotel the 1st night (we were driving the next day) which I don’t know how I would’ve known otherwise. Her friend, Catherine, helped us many times (we locked ourselves out and needed help booking taxis) as Chiara was going out of town. Both were so kind. We recommend restaurant (with AC!) called Trattoria Boboli. Thank you, Chiara and Francesco!
