What a location! Genuinely unbeatable. About 2 minutes from Ponte Vecchio and the Pitti Palace, south of the river in the relaxed in the (far more relaxed and less touristy) San Spirito district - I think this must be the ideal place to be based in Florence! You feel like you are in the heart of the city. The apartment is quirky and historic - in a historic tower - but renovated to be marvellously modern - air con/heating, a lovely marble bathroom, with a big bath and lots of hot water all day, a newly renovated kitchen with everything you need, and a very, very comfortable bed. (Even though it is a few floors up there is still a fair amount street noise at commuting time in the morning and light sleepers might want ear plugs, but this noise would be the case with any accommodation that is so close to the heart of the city). A unique and well equipped place to stay in the perfect location.
