Location, location, location! this is an excellent choice just behind the Palazzo Vecchio and 200 mts from Osteria All'antico Vinaio (if you don't know what it is; Google it! you will thank me for the rest of your life; remember to order "la favolosa" ); also you have 2 Trattorias just steps from the place: Trattoria Alfredo and Trattoria Buzzino; both great and reasonable priced. and finally, try Gelateria dei Neri (250 mts); if you want authentic Firenze gelato; OMG!!!
Also; if you are driving from Venice or Rome (like we did); enjoying the Tuscan countryside, make sure you let Luciano know you are driving in; he has a garage just 50 mts away from the apartment; which make it very convenient; and he has a preferential rate for its guests. Just make sure you use your GPS to get there; without it you WILL get lost.
The apartment looks better in person than it does in pictures; so if you like it on pictures you will love it in person. the only down side to it is the climb up the stairs; 4 floors up; that are really like 5 due to double high ceilings (no elevator). BUT; worth the extra effort 100%; I will stay here again for sure.
