Pre-stay communication and checkin process were excellent. Leonardo and Susanne were excellent hosts - easy communication, facilitated checkin, arranged departure taxi. The apartment, while somewhat more expensive, offers great value given its location, its view on the Arno, the excellent quality of the renovation, its appointments, and its security. Excellent supermarket across the street and a choice of nearby pasticcerie. The only possible issue is the noise from the Ponte Vecchio, which can be a positive (some musicians) or negative (late night carousing) - that said, it didn’t bother us at all. We would book again without hesitation.
