The pictures do not do the view justice. We had a wonderful time watching the fireworks across the Arno. Everything is an easy walk from the apartment and the neighborhood feels less crowded, yet still busy. We had a tour of the Uffizi with a locale Florentine and he said that we were staying in one of the best neighborhoods - and he was right. Lorenzo was always helpful and easy to communicate with and even had prosecco and fruit for us in the fridge when we arrived. The apartment is on a hill and four flights up - so be aware if you are not used to walking much - but it is totally worth it for the view.
