This apartment was, without question, the nicest place we had the privilege of renting in Italy. The apartment is even more beautiful than the pictures depict and the views are beyond what you could imagine- simply beautiful. The hosts were easy to contact and responded right away when we had a problem with a blown fuse and walked us through fixing it immediately. The walk to the center of town was about 10 minutes- it was quiet at night but easily accessible and they left a comprehensive booklet filled with recommendations for activities and restaurants. Hands down, if you stay in Florence, you should stay here.
