This apartment is super spacious and furnishing was pretty basic but comfortable. We didn't mind as we spent most of the time outside, but that view of Ponte Vecchio, Arno, etc. is amazing! I had stayed near Duomo before and actually enjoyed staying here more so. There's a great supermarket right out front and a delicious and cheap gelato place (Cantina del Gelato) right down the street. Really appreciated having an elevator in this building as well! Everything in Firenze is walkable, and we only used the public transportation to/from the apartment with our luggage. FYI, D bus drops you closest to the apartment if you are traveling with large luggage but would like to use public transportation. Recommended!
