This apartment was in the heart of Florence. Situated right on the river, we could not have asked for a better location. Located on Ponte Vecchio, five minutes from the Duomo, and in the heart of the shopping areas ie., flea markets, high end jewelery and leather shopping. Information packet provided was very helpful. Great restaurants nearby. Only issue is no air conditioning. There was a fan in the apartment that was helpful. We were there the end of May and there was a heatwave with high humidity. Otherwise, the apartment was a great bargain for our time in Florence.
