These photos are deceiving - the view is even more incredible than the photos share!! There truly is no way to describe how incredible being so close to the Duomo is. The bells in the morning, at night and the splendor of being right there in the heart of Florence is overwhelming!
First and foremost, Dani is the best hostess! She thinks of everything, is so accommodating and was available the entire length of my trip with suggestions, recommendations and updates. There is literally nothing she doesn't know about her city and she can answer any question for you. She's such a wonderful person too!
Second, this apartment is so convenient. The location and the view literally can't be beat. With Dani's help, I instantly felt like a local: Eataly is across the street, there is a wonderful supermarket around the back, I found my perfect cafe that I went to each morning, there are wonderful restaurants right there, a violinist who played every night next to the Duomo to give you perfect evening ambiance, the bustle of the morning street sweepers, the lull of the late night cafe dwellers, the sparrows to greet you in the morning before those big, wonderful bells kick in - it's all too much to be true and yet is so very grounding.
Highly recommend. It's wonderfully safe for solo travelers and completely magical.
