This apartment was exactly what we were looking for - the photos are very accurate and the neighborhood (just south of the river and close to Ponte Vecchio) is an ideal base point for exploring Florence and greater Tuscany. Alessandra met us within minutes of our arrival to show us around the spacious, clean and comfortable apartment complete with Nespresso machine and pods for us to use.

It was nice to stay in a slightly less touristy area and we could easily grab meats, cheeses and wine from nearby markets or go have an aperol spritz in the Santo Spirito piazza with all the young kids (seemed like a big college age meeting spot) right around the corner from the apartment. There was some noise late into the night because of the piazza but it was not bad and the windows did a good job blocking most of it out.

To give more context, the apartment was about a 5 minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio and a 15 min walk from the Uffizzi - it's also very near to the Pitti Palace/Boboli Gardens.
