The views are just as great as the pictures show! We were greeted by Yelena upon arrival. She gave us a map with many options for food, entertainment, and sightseeing suggestions all over Florence. The apartment was conveniently located to many major sites, like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (5 minutes), Galleria dell’Accademia (5 minutes), Galleria degli Uffizi (10 minutes), Ponte Vecchio (10 minutes), and the train station (10 minutes).
There are lots of great food options in the area, one being Trattoria Za Za! It was on the street adjacent to the building. Their Florentine steak was the best we had ever had!
The apartment was very clean and well designed, the area can’t be beat, and the views of the plaza below are great. For those traveling with large suitcases, know that there is not a lift in the building and the apartment is on the top floor. Although we had two large suitcases weighing ~50lbs each, it was well worth the climb and we would do it again.
Diana and her team were awesome hosts! Very informative, polite, and accommodating. Upon checkout, we managed to get locked in the hallway (always double check the door in the small hallway!) and someone was there within minutes to help us out.
We will certainly be back!
