The character of this apartment is wonderful! Lots of nice personal touches :-) great communication from the hosts and they leave you with lots of tour guides, books and recommendations for restaurants, listings of hospitals etc. etc. my husband and I walked everywhere in the city. Near the apartment there are lots of places for coffee, restaurants, small grocery, and bank with ATM...
Though you can only stand on the terrace, it is an amazing view of the city at all times of the day, sunrise and sunset. enjoy your morning coffee, Prosecco or a glass of wine! Between viewing the city from their Terrace, and from our walk through the Boboli Gardens we did not even feel the need to climb the Duomo for the views!
