This apartment’s view high above the Arno was one of the highlights of our Italian honeymoon. Even after our train from Venice arrived 20 minutes later than planned, Guido could not have been a more welcoming host once we arrived.
Located about a 15 minute walk to the train station and near many small restaurants, bars, and stores, the apt is an ideal location from which to explore Firenze. It is close to the Ponte Vecchio, which is very busy all the time, but the apartment itself is quiet.
(It’s also about 10 minutes from most of the rental car offices, where we picked up our car upon leaving.)
We were told by many that Piazzale Michelangelo is an ideal place to watch the sunset, but each night we opted to watch from the porch. (As Guido will tell you, there are two Conad groceries within walking distance, where we bought cheap wine and snacks and more wine that lasted our stay.)

The apartment’s stairs are no joke, but the home that awaits is worth it. The bed also sags a bit in the middle, but again, the positives far outweigh the negative.
