Excellent location in a very tourist packed city. This neighborhood was so much better than staying near the sights on the other side of the river. The building and space felt authentically Florence. There is a great organic food store next door, restaurants all over and the best gelato we had in all of our 8 days in Italy is on the corner! Erika was very helpful during our stay. The apartment has interesting decor and nice energy. Pitti Palace and Boboli gardens are a short walking distance away - maybe 5 min - and all the other sites like Uffizi, Vecchio, duomo are only about 15-20 min walk but in a city so dense and interesting all the walking feels short. Great place with excellent location for feeling more like you are in Italian Florence, not tourist Florence.
