The apartment is an excellent location. The view of the Ponte Vecchio, the river and city below you from the 5th floor is awesome. Fortunately there is an elevator! The hosts were very helpful and easy to communicate with both before and during our stay there. The location is just minutes from the museums, restaurants, gelato and the supermarket. The walk to Piazzale Michangelo to view the city and watch the sunset was beautiful. We did not want to leave Florence!
