Perfect doesn't begin to describe our experience staying at this amazing penthouse apartment hosted by Ilaria. The location is unbelievable! Halfway between the Palazzo Vecchio and the Duomo! Close to everything you could want to see in Florence. 5 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery, steps away from amazing restaurants and shops, 10 minutes to Accademia Gallery with Michelangelo's David. Worth all 100 steps (we counted) up to the apartment. Amazing views from every room! The apartment itself was beautiful, clean, and more than spacious for our group of 5. Ilaria and Grazia were so welcoming and helpful since we were driving into the city and parking a car. If I could rate this listing as 6 out of 5 stars I would, scratch that, 7 STARS! You will not be disappointed in the apartment, the location, or the experience of working with these wonderful hosts. If you haven't already fallen in love with Florence I guarantee you will when you stay here.
