The location of this apartment is very prime! You cannot beat the proximity to everything you'll want to do in Florence. The apartment was very comfortable and it truly felt like home when we got back. We were greeted very kindly and given dining and site seeing suggestions as well as a map, which was unexpected and very appreciated. The only downside to the apartment is that there are 88 (yes, eighty eight) steps up to the apartment. It was quite exhausting, and we are young and in pretty good shape. So we weren't physically able to use the apartment as much as a pit stop like we had hoped. But the stairs were a great way to work off our pasta and steak each night! I would caution people with physical limitations as there is no alternative to taking the stairs.
