I had a great stay! The location is south of the river Arno in Santo Spirito.
It’s a 3 minute walk to the main square with fantastic drinking and dining options that feels more local than the many tourist locations north of the river. One of my favourites was Gustapizza, affordable and delicious!
It’s a 10 minute walk to Ponte Vecchio or Palazzo Pitti, a 15 minute walk to the Uffizi and a 15-20 minute walk to the main train station or the Cathedral. Just note that the sidewalks of Florence are narrow and uneven if you plan to arrive by foot and have suitcases.
There are a couple of small super markets within a 5 minute walk should you wish to use the apartment’s kitchen during your stay.
The apartment was just as expected. I found the mattress, pillows and sheets to be just to my liking. The bathroom with shower only, was more than adequate for my needs and I didn’t require anything else that wasn’t provided. Washing machine was in the apartment though I didn’t use it. Air conditioning can be provided for an additional charge but wasn’t needed for me during September/off season:
Modí was always available quickly to respond to any queries. The area felt safe during day and night. Good value!
Would happily stay again.
