I came to Florence qith my family, my husband, babysitter and 1 year old daughter, i was working there for a month. The place is exellent for families with children, there are 2 free entrance parks in nearby, supermarkets, and what is really important it is fresh as there are many trees, and in the hot italian summer this was our savior!
Ulrika is very nice, she helped us with any issue we had, plus she gave us baby bed and children toys so we didn't have to bring everyhting with us!
The place itself is clean and modern, rarely findable in Florence.
For tourists there is about 10 min walk to ponte vecchio, and there are cousy piazas in nearby to take cofe or beer. there is a busstop just arround corner, bus nr 11 bring you to Duomo in 6 stops, around 10 min. It is very comfortable.
We enjoyed a lot staying there and visiting all the parks, seeing flowers on our balcony and no street rumor, no dirty city air, just beautifull view on tuscan hills.
