Location, location, location!
If you are not staying here for the location then don’t book the room. You will be right in the heart to Florence and right by the entrance of Duomo. There are fantastic restaurants, historic sights, and open air markets all within easy walking distance.
The apartment itself is clean but aged. It’s an old building that has probably seen centuries of use and renovation. The host met us at the street and guided us to up three flights of stairs to the apartment. It’s great as a central hub for your adventures, but nothing fancy.
Getting into the Duomo chapel is free but you’ll probably want to make a reservation so you can visit the entire complex. Pro tip: if you have a ticket to see the Santa Reparata, then you can skip the cathedral line and enter from the south side next to Giotto's Bell Tower.
This apartment is highly recommended if you are here for the sights.
