Bernardo's apartment was a true find, loads of accommodation with high ceilings and tastefully decorated in a lovely area that's away from the busy center yet a short and beautiful walk (over the Ponte Vecchio) to the Duomo and major sights. The gorgeous Boboli gardens right there too. We loved the shopping at the market on the adjacent Piazza Santo Spirito (from fresh produce to thrifty designer labels) also the go-to area for fantastic food and coffees that the surrounding restaurants have to offer.
If anything, Bernardo's apartment over-delivered for us - loved our stay there and would recommend this neighborhood for it's frlendly inhabitants and all the amenities it has to offer.
