This is the best location we could have chosen for our trip to Florence. The bus stops immediately in front of the apartment (beside the lobby door) no walking required. There are multiple buses that take you to the tourist sites that everyone wants to visit, and buses come frequently, taxis are not needed at all. We saved so much money staying here. Furthermore, the street is lined with many high end restaurants, 2 of which are really busy and filled with locals for dinner. And the food is the best we've had in Italy, and the only restaurants we have returned to twice. It was so nice to come back from a long day out, be able to relax for a bit and then walk down to a restaurant to eat. And since it is just outside the tourist area, the food was not extremely expensive. Paola's apartment was very cozy, and she had all the amenities we needed, plus toast and jelly which was awesome for mornings we needed to be out quick. I would definitely stay in only this apartment if and when I come back to Florence!
