This apartment is a great value. Just 15- 20 mins away from Uffizi/Palazzo Vecchio/Duomo by city bus so things are quiet and very safe in this easygoing neighborhood. Shops close fairly early but a few local bars stay open late for food, drink and friendly service. Francesco is a gracious host with good knowledge of Florence and and tips for getting around - and he treated us very kindly. I would like to stay here again when I travel back to the wonderful city of Firenze!
