Here are some photos of the apartment I rented in Florence...
Starting with the street, Via de Barbadori:
Reached by a choice of...
Elevator:
Or stairs:
Welcome to the living room:
Spin around on your heels and hey look, a kitchenette!
The kitchen counter...near the end of my trip (did I mention I drank a lot of wine while there?!)
The wardrobe (also storage for extra pillows and change of linens) and coat rack:
And the bathroom, small but clean and functional:
My view...wish I was leaning out the window gazing upon these rooftops and the dome of Santo Spirito right now (it is snowing here and blowing wildly as I type!)
These next three are not so much for the view, as to give an idea of where the apartment is situated.
The tip top of the Dome:
Thetower on the Palazzo Vecchio:
And from the window on the other side, Pitti Palace:

Love this post! It looks like such a great place, and I love your photos. I especially love the fruit and the wine with such beautiful labels, so very Italian to me! And those red roofs of Italy...sigh. I can' wait to be back there.

Yes! I'd love to see some of them. Like Kathy, I'm flipping between "woo hoo" and "yikes" as I think about how much I have to do to get ready to go. But I'm psyched!
