We spent nearly the entire month of May here. Oltrarno is a great place to stay- close to everything, but a little less frantic. This apartment was perfect for my husband and me. It was cozy, fully furnished, with all the cooking implements we could need. There is a gas stove, small fridge, juicer, electric kettle, and espresso pots.There is heat and a/c (we used both in May), powerful wifi, cable. We were able to watch downloaded (and streamed) YouTube, Prime and Netflix from our home account using a USB-C to HDMI cord from my phone to the TV. Bring one, or purchase at a Euronics store here.The washer works great. (Use the longer cycles for better spinning to help the clothes dry faster). There is a rack for drying, and we put shirts on hangers and hung them in open windows or from the window box. (You'll feel right at home. When in Italy...)There are numerous bars and restaurants close to the apartment. We got groceries from stores past Santa Croce (10 minute walk), and just before Ponte Vecchio (15 minute walk). Stop for a gelato (our fave was Strega Nocciolo, but there are several others close to home- no one has bad gelato.)Chiesa San Niccolo is right behind the apartment. Mass is at 11 on Sunday.Francesca had fantastic communication with us. She made sure we always had access to help if we needed it.We couldn't have been happier, and we have some wonderful memories.

Francesca was very welcoming and provided a comfortable, well-equipped, and convenient lodging. We greatly enjoyed our time in this apartment.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The apartment itself was cozy, comfortable and it is in a great location. The area was quiet but provided easy access to all of Florence’s attractions. The bed was very comfortable and there was ample storage. The kitchen is small but well stocked. Francesca met us for check in and she was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
