This apartment could not be more perfectly located to access all of the cultural amenities in central Florence. It is literally less than a two-minute walk from both the Piazza della Republica and the Duomo. The apartment has been beautifully renovated with exquisite Tuscan craftsmanship with contemporary appliances and amenities. The hosts, Mirella and Stefano, were extremely helpful and friendly during the arrival, check-in and departure process, including helping us navigate rush-hour Florence traffic (not easy!) and orienting us to our surroundings. There are no down-sides to staying here; recommended without qualifications.
