The apartment was located in a very quiet area and an easy walk to the city center. The owner was so helpful in getting us settled in the apartment and also with information on the city. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable for 2 couples. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip. Italy Perfect provided all the information we needed prior to the trip and we will use them again for our future visits to Italy.

Our stay at Vespucci was wonderful. The owners were wonderful and the location of the apartment is perfect - quiet however close to the central area. The owners supplied our every need.The only slight negative is we could hear the family, including children, in the upstairs apartment. This did not impact our vacation in any way, but important to mention.Regards,Barbara Ross-Denroche [There can be some noise from upstairs when the 4yr old twin boys return from school. They go to bed very early, so it doesn't interfere with our guests' sleep.]

The Vespucci, without a doubt, was as close to perfect as any vacation home I've rented in North America or Europe in the past 20 years. First, the location. The apartment is in a block from the Arno River, situated between the American Embassy a few blocks away on one side and a large park area a few blocks the other way. As a result of the limited street access to the area, it is virtually traffic free. I don't think I ever had to dodge a Vespa like one does elsewhere in Firenze! It was very quiet, day and night, so was easy for the light sleepers in the family to have a good rest. The apartment is on the 4th floor, so you are above the neighboring buildings with lots of air and light. One side fronts the street, the other an inner court yard. Screens on the windows let in fresh air on our warm days without any bugs joining us.The apartment itself is a delight. Two bedrooms, two baths, fully equipped kitchen, inviting living room. The beds are very comfortable (too hard or too squishy beds being one of my pet peeves in vacation rentals) with good bedding and several pillow options. Bedside lighting was perfect for reading at night. The bathrooms were modern and spotless. Hot water on demand so no wimpy morning showers. Towels were large and soft, with two per person. The living room/dining room area had good lighting, nice furniture. The TV had Italian channels; who needs to hear the bad news on the English CNN while you are on vacation! The DVD player worked with our daughter's North American dvds from home. The kitchen was fully, and I do mean fully, equipped for a family. Plenty of pots, pans, dishes, utensils. The fridge and freezer is huge by European standards, and there's even a dishwasher. The washing machine worked fine, as did hanging the wet laundry to dry in the little 'bonus' room at the end of the hallway. Also used this area for storing our luggage and all the goodies we bought while in Italy.The owners are absolutely delightful. Taking us in with virtually no advance notice because of a problem with a different property, they really saved our three weeks vacation in Firenze. They were very helpful, answering any and all questions. When we had an internet connectivity issue on our first day, they immediately remedied the problem. The apartment came well stocked with maps, information and travel books provided by the owner. We had great fun, our last evening, having snacks and wine with them discussing our time in Italy and their hopes to get to Alaska for a visit. Wonderful people with a wonderful property.
