Gaia's 2 bedroom apartment is in the best great! It is on the top floor, 100 steps with no elevator. The view is magnificent! Looking out both bedrooms windows you can see the Duomo, which is about a 5 minute walk. When visiting the Duomo make sure you have reservations! We woke up early and walked over to the Duomo and did everything before the crowds and groups got there. Our reservation for climbing the cupola was later in the afternoon. We were able to walk around, go back to the apartment, and just a few minutes before our entrance time, walk over and climb the cupola. It was great and very convenient!
The apartment is about 2 blocks from the train station on a main square. Our favorite thing was sitting by the open window listening to the evening performer and drinking wine. The apartment was just around the corner from great restaurants and shops.
Gaia was great with communication and check in was very easy. If we can back to Florence we would definitely stay here again!!
