Borgo San Jacopo - Florence
Accommodates 2+1 -- 1 Bedroom -- 1 Bath
One of Florence's most fashionable shopping streets, Borgo San Jacopo, right off the Ponte Vecchio, is also one of the most conveniently situated. And yet since there is no street between it and the Arno, our fourth-floor apartment in an elevator building is amazingly peaceful.
The big plus of this apartment is the delightful living/dining room (with single sofabed) facing directly onto the river. Two large windows permit you to enjoy magnificent views of the Arno and the entire Florentine townscape, including the Ponte Vecchio itself. The room is light, comfortable, and sophisticated.
The apartment has its negatives which should not be underestimated: In particular, the kitchen is a barely adequate galley-type affair with small fridge. The bedroom is tiny; two brand-new unifiable twin beds of excellent quality virtually fill the room. There is a telephone, but hooking up a computer is not possible on this line. There is an internet caf�just down the street. No washer, but laundry down the street.For those who aren't going to do heavy cooking, the Borgo San Jacopo apartment is ideal. We have offered it for many years now, and no one has ever been disappointed.
