This apartment is all about the location. It is literally within the historical centre, just one street back from Palazzo Pitti and one street in the other direction from Ponte Vecchio and the River Arno.

The room is well appointed with washing machine and clothes line (which will dry your clothes in just a few hours, provided you place it in front of the radiator), hair dryer and two-pot electric stove-top.

The bed itself is basic, but comfortable and the bathroom is adequate. Be aware that the hot water system has capacity for only about ten minutes, but this is little to worry about if you are a solo traveller or couple.

While some of the previous guests complained of the street noise, I found this tolerable after about twelve, which I think is the perfect time to wander back into your room after strolling the streets by night.
