The apartment is charming and spacious. It was located across the river in a quiet location. A restaurant was next door and served good food at a non-tourist price. There is a coffee shop directly across the street but we did not stop in. The bridge was a block away and all of Florence was within walking distance. The apartment is up several flights of stairs which is to be expected as Florence apartment buildings are not equipped with elevators/lifts due to the age of the buildings. We enjoyed staying in Florence and appreciated Annalisa’s hospitality.
