Sylvia's very comfortable apartment is located in a quiet street in the Oltrarno area nearby to Santa Maria del Carmine and Piazza Santo Spirito where there are many places to eat and to enjoy an aperitivo at the bars in the evenings. The apartment is within easy walking distance to Palazzo Pitti and Giardino di Boboli, Ponte Vecchio and across the river to all the sites. Sylvia is a lovely host and her son greeted us on arrival and provided advice about the area. Highly recommend this apartment for a short or long stay in Firenze.
