When we booked this apartment, we wondered: Is it really possible - a central apartment with a big terrace where you can see both Ponte Vecchio and the Duomo? And: Yes, it's possible!

The location couldn't be much better; you have access to everything within short walking distance. There are nice restaurants almost within sight, and a gelateria on the same block.

Who shouldn't book this? If you want everything to be modern and in percfect condition, and need silence, this is not the place for you. (The neighbouring hotels cause noise in the mornings and sometimes in the evenings, and the main street causes noise during the day)

Who should book it? If you want to be close to everything important, if you want to stay in an apartment with the historical Florence athmosphere, if you want to start every day on a spacious terrace above the main street between the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio where you can people watch and/or listen to the life, then I recommend this apartment.

Marusca, the host, is charming, funny and very helpful and responsive, so you'll be in excellent hands in Florence if you book this!

Overall we are very happy with our stay, and would definitely book with Marusca again.
