Excellent location for staying in Florence. Good value and very near the Pitti Palace - a whole day trip itself. Very walkable across the Arno to the center of Florence. Good neighbourhood with a decent small grocery store around the corner. Nearby is Santo Spirito which is good for appertivo at the Pop Cafe along the square, or go to Gusta Pizza a couple blocks from Santo Spirito Square - eat there, then get a pizza to go to have later back at the apt or the next day. This is a very small apt. Consider your ability to climb up and down steep stairs with your luggage to reach the apt. Don't bring 50 pounds of luggage - like we did. Also, the climb up and down to/from the loft bed will be part of your daily routine. We stayed here for 5 nights and managed just fine - with some adjustments on our end RE the small space. You can prep some minor meals/snack...but most of your meals will likely need to be out. Tina and Uma are very nice and sincerely want thier guests to enjoy thier stay.
