Fadia's apartment is ideally located to explore the historical areas of Firenze. It is an easy walk (over the Ponte Vechio) to the Duomo and the Uffizi gallery, and the #11 bus that goes to the Accademia stops just outside the door. There are many restaurants and stores in the immediate area. Fadia's apartment is on the third floor of an old building and is accessed through a long corridor and three flights of stairs. The apartment is at the back of the building, so there is no street noise. The many windows provide good cross-ventilation. The apartment is very well equipped with a comfortable bed and a kitchen that is good for cooking full meals. Fadia's handbook has complete information on local facilities and restaurants - a great aid for first-timers. Overall, we would recommend this as a base from which to explore Firenze.
