This has to be one of the best locations in Florence. Everything is just outside your door or just a short walk away. The apartment was clean and well equipped and Irene and Alain were readily available to help with directions, restaurant suggestions, and the like. Also worth noting is that this is a very quiet and private apartment located in a courtyard off a fairly busy street. We were there during an historic heat wave and managed to stay cool, Italian style, by closing the windows and shutters during the day and opening them at night as there is no air conditioning.
