This apartment was beyond our expectations. First off, it is located right next to the Duomo. When you come out of the entrance, the Baptistry and Duomo are literally directly to your left. Also, while the street scene can be fairly loud, the hosts recently installed some lovely “sound proof” doors and windows that blocked out 99% of the noise. Lastly, the patio is amazing. Very large with a wonderful shade umbrella and nice plants to separate each unit’s outdoor space. We would definitely stay here again during our next trip to Florence. Oh…and communication with the hosts was awesome. They were both very responsive and nice to work with. Enjoy!!!
