Great spot to stay - in a quiet street, just one road back from the river and walking distance from the Ponte Vecchio and into the major tourist parts of Florence. The apartment is compact but was very clean and had everything you need. Giovanni and his brother were terrific hosts, very communicative and helpful. They left a selection of local restaurant recommendations that we found to be fantastic ... and there is a wonderful gelateria just around the corner. Can certainly recommend staying here.
