We stayed in this cool, contemporary apartment for three months! We wanted to experience living in Italy as residents rather than tourists. Our experience far exceeded our expectations. The neighborhood is delightful, great shops, restaurants (Osteria del Pesce was our favorite) and a couple of grocery stores just around the corner. Everyone we met in this neighborhood was warm and welcoming. AND, it is only a ten minute walk into Florence proper! We walked into the city almost every day. The apartment itself is fantastic. We cooked at home often and had everything we needed. The sleek, modern look was right up our alley. We were worried there would not be enough closet or drawer space for all the things we brought with us for a three month stay. There was more than enough...an entire wall of closets and drawers and plenty of hangers! And a washing machine! The apartment is spacious enough for four people to live comfortably without being on top of each other. And, once the weather became almost unbearably hot we were most appreciative of the air-conditioning! Michela, the owner accommodated our every need. She thought of everything, and on the rare occasions there was a concern she was right there to lend a hand. We cannot recommend this VRBO more highly. It was a pleasure to escape the chaotic tourist-filled city at the end of a long day and retire to this wonderful retreat a few steps away! The apartment looks EXACTLY the way it is photographed. Go for it!
