Great spacious, modern apartment in the San Spirito neighborhood. 3 very spacious bedrooms that can easily accommodate 6 adults. This neighborhood is just across the river from the heart of touristy Florence and you feel the heat, the crowds and intensity change every time you cross the bridge.
Close by are good markets, coffee shops, bakeries, gelato, and restaurants to choose from with very friendly people. I particularly liked being 3 minutes from the “back entrance” to the Boboli Gardens (you do not have to go through the Pitti Palace). Also just around the corner are the Branacci frescos in the church called Santa Maria Del Carmen, so worth it!
Apartment is on the third floor with nice wide shallow steps, but no elevator - which is absolutely fine as long as stairs do not pose a problem for you. The host team was very responsive and friendly. Our family of 5 (with kids 14-20) would highly recommend!
