The location is fantastic, and is in the old city. So only two blocks from the Arno, and very easy walks to all of the great places to go! Mattia met us when we got there, and also gave us an overview of the city (along with the best place to get Gelato!). The apartment made our visit to Florence wonderful! The only thing to be aware of is that the apartment is on the 4th floor (80 steps) - so it can be a bit daunting the first couple of times. Would stay again!
