This apartment is ideally located. It is very close to the Duomo and down the block either way from many bus and mini-bus routes to get you anywhere. An elevator is very hard to find in Florence and since I had torn my meniscus this year, it was a necessity and very appreciated. There is a small grocery store just within 50 feet of the door if you wish to get things for breakfast or lunch. The apartment has a beautiful, large living room. The kitchen has everything you could want from coffee maker to microwave. The bathroom is very clean and had plenty of towels and bathroom amenities. There are two large wardrobes in the bedroom with extra pillow and blankets. In all, everything you might need in my opinion. It is away from the street and very quiet. The old construction of the building keeps it cool, and you can open windows to create a cross-breeze plus there is an air conditioner on very hot days. It was in the low to mid-80's the week we were there and very hot outside in the sun, but the apartment remained very comfortable, and we only turned on the air-conditioner one day for a few hours until the sun dipped. Pamela answers very quickly if you have any questions and has left a whole folder with information about the apartment, and there are so many guide books, you will find information for any place you might want to visit. I would go back there in a heartbeat!!
