What a marvelous experience! The apartment was even more than we had hoped for. What a delight to have someone waiting to greet us when we drove up in the taxi! The location could not be better. Just on the otraarno side of Ponte Vecchio. Very quiet and peaceful but just steps away from all the action. And the terrace was beautiful. We enjoyed at least two meals on it every day, and it was the best seat in Florence. The only thing to be careful about - we found it is not easy to get a taxi at 5 am in Florence. We ended up walking to the train station to get a taxi to the airport - which was no great burden at only 15 minutes. Otherwise, there is no place you want to be that you cannot walk.
