When in Florence, what best location can you expect? Open the door and you will walk right onto the very square where world class statures, museums and galleries sit; world class top brand shopping is literally two minutes (maybe just one minute) from the moment you walk out of the door. The apartment itself is part of the history and dates back to the 1500s. My only wish is the beds, beddings and furniture be updated, the light could be blocked, and the bathroom a little more room. Still, this is a great treasure in Florence that is convenient, affordable and quiet.
