This is a sturdily laid out and elegantly furnished studio apartment, with enough kitchen equipment and space to please a vacationing chef and a library to keep any literate reader of Italian quite busy. But above all, realize you will be dead center in the nucleus of 90% of all tourist activity in Florence, virtually inside the Uffizi galleries. Just to one side, the Ponte Vecchio, the most historic and well-traveled bridge across the Arno and to a fairly reasonable grocery store. Depending on the season, you may well want to venture out beyond the Duomo orbit, but certainly all the major galleries, cathedrals, piazzas and other popular tourist stops are eminently walkable from here, as is the main train and bus stop. You are two piazzas from the main post office. Three flights up a fairly narrow stone staircase might be the only slight challenge, depending upon your fitness level and quantity of luggage. Based upon the location alone, I venture Federico could be asking quite a bit more for this space, but as a true humanist, he leaves it within reach for those of us humble voyagers who are fortunate to find him out of town. Those of his associates who manage the property in his absence seemed quite the pros about it and couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful.
