If you are in Florence and need a great place to stay, this is it. Federico, Mario, & Patrizia, are the best hosts,and go out of their way to make sure you have a wonderful stay. Conveniently located within easy walking distance to Accademia, Duomo, & Ponte Vecchio. The bus stop and taxi stop is just outside the door. The train station is 1/2 mile away. There is an awesome view of the Duomo. The apartment is very clean and nicely appointed with all needed ammenities, and the beds are very very comfortable. Also it is very quiet on the 3rd floor. Not to worry, the elevator works great!!! I plan on returning to Florence and will stay there again.
