The apartment is close to everything but at the same time off the beaten path. Only a block from Piazza Santa Croce, a short walk to Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio. Guido was very responsive helpful to my emailed questions. The place was as clean and well equipped as clean as most 2 star and many 3 star hotels. It had everything we needed for our 4 nights in Florence. Two tips for Florence, Mercato Centrale for bread, produce, cheese and salami that you can enjoy in the apartment. Also check into the Firenze Card to save money and time if you plan to visit museums and churches.
