The pictures do not do the apartment justice!!! The location was beyond ideal. Most things were within less than 1/2 miles & super easy walk, including duomo, uffizi, accademia, centrale market, etc. It was very quiet but on a street that made everything very accessible. Felt like I was living like a local in the city. Would have been great to sit on patio in summer (I stayed in winter.) I would whole- heartedly recommend. I also loved the suggestion book, maps, and provided hairdryer, umbrella, and Netflix access just in case. The washing machine was definitely an added bonus too!
