Overall: This is a delightful apartment in a lovely building on the Arno, overlooking Florence. Enjoyed Most: It has a spectacular view of Florence from the living room and the master bedroom, and it's conveniently situated near the Ponte Vecchio. Enjoyed Least: We knew there would be no dryer, which is typical in Italy, and that was sometimes inconvenient. Surrounding Area: We've never stayed on the Oltrano side of Florence, and it was wonderful. We got to know the shop keepers, so we felt like we were part of a neighborhood, yet it was a quick walk to all the attractions. Nearby Events or Locales: Everything was within a short walking distance. We've been to Italy many times, and this was our first experience renting an apartment, and it was simply great. Tips or Restaurants: The owners make life easy. The kitchen is well stocked, and all supplies are within easy walking distance. There is also a very good maid service available.
