We loved the central location of the apartment, and it was a lovely place to return to at the end of each day of exploring Florence. This area is central while still being very close to places where real locals go. The bed was very comfortable, and luckily the heat worked very well, because we visited during an unusually cold storm (it snowed!). We enjoyed having the kitchen to make breakfast for ourselves, and the room was very quiet at night. The apartment itself is beautiful and charming, with high beamed ceilings and has lots of light from the windows facing the small, quiet street. We were so close to Santa Croce, that we were basically having a slumber party with Dante, Michelangelo and Galileo! It is on the 1st floor, so only one set of stairs up to the apartment which is nice. The woman who checked us in Eleanora was extremely friendly and helpful with tips when we asked. We would definitely stay here again.
