Do yourself a favor and book this place while you can! You're probably agonizing over a long list of potential BnBs, and you can throw that list away because this is the place to stay in Florence. It's an absolutely gorgeous apartment, you can tell that Federico has put a great deal of care and attention into every detail of it's design and layout. Also, it's directly in the center of the Central district of Florence, a 2-min walk from the Duomo, the Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi Gallery, and maybe 5 min from the Arno River, Ponte Vecchio, etc. Federico and his cousin Filippo were great with messaging, info, and setting up check-in. Filippo met us and gave an extremely helpful intro to the apartment, including details about the restoration and historic nature of the building. Air conditioning works great (a necessity as we were there in August during a heat wave, one day was 103F/41C), nice shower, thoughtful kitchen, and by far the fastest internet we had in Italy. 12 days and four different BnBs in Italy, this was by far our favorite. Federico and Filippo are genuinely warm and thoughtful people who made us feel like friends visiting from out of town. We really couldn't have had a better stay. Grazie mille!
