We really enjoyed the area of Florence that the apartment was in. We were surprised that it wasn’t closer to the bridge, because one of the pictures makes it look like it is right next to the bridge, but it is actually down the block. The location ended up being great in the end, but finding it originally was frustrating because we were looking for it in the wrong area due to the picture mentioned above. The apartment was as pictured: a lovely clean, bright place. It met all of our needs. We took a car into Florence, but after experiencing the traffic and the extremely expensive parking, we would not recommend that option to other travelers. It ended up being a very big waste of money for us, and was logistically challenging. That said, I would certainly at this apartment again. We had everything at our fingertips, from local pizzerias to groceries to baked goods. It was a nice walk to Michelangelo’s hill which was lovely at sunset but also lovely just after sunrise. Perfect location!
