This has got to be the best place to stay in Florence. The location is perfect for walking (or biking!) around the city - it's very close to the river, the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, etc. Once you are inside the apartment, you'd never guess that you were right in the middle of Florence because it's so peaceful and quiet. The hosts are very accommodating and responsive, and the apartment has everything you could need. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
