Overall: I would definitely rent this particular property. It was well appointed, well located, and the views were awesome. Aside from the noise and the mosquites, a phenomenal apartment and a phenomenal Italy experience! Enjoyed Most: The spacious floor plan, roof top terrace and location with in the city of Florence Enjoyed Least: Santa Croce becomes "Party Central" starting at about 1:00pm and continues until sun up. Bongo drums, soccer games, partying and screaming. We couldn't figure out how to turn on the AC until the last 3 days. Once we did that, the problem was solved. Also, lots of mosquites. Again, closing the windows and turning on the AC solved the problem. Be sure to ask how to operate the AC and where the units are located. Surrounding Area: The walking distance to everything! Tips or Restaurants: Definitely the need to bring mosquito repellent and ear plugs if you don't want to use the AC. The Standa market, which is just 3 blocks away, was a great supermarket and 2 restaurants that we liked a lot were the Open Bar restaurant south of the Arno, close to the Ponte Vecchio, and also Santa Croce Pizzeria across the square was fantastic.
