We have stayed here 2 times now, if you want to see Florence without being in the crowded center, it is a 20 minute walk to the middle, we HIGHLY recommend this apartment! Sparkling clean, lots of room , great bed and bath as well as a nice roomy kitchen,this is for you. 2 food stores around the corner, restaurants, shopping, the river is out the door to the right and about 10 minutes.Excellent safe neighborhood, can't say enough... A+++, Thanks Maria!
