The apartment's location was superb with a breathtaking view of the Duomo that made coming home from the beautiful streets of Florence a pleasure. It was only a blcok from both the Accademia anc the Duomo, and 2 blocks from the mercado centrale. We did have a hiccup initially with one of the entrance door keys not working, but the amazing building doorman came to the rescue! I do second some of the other reviews about the hot water- we are even quick shower takers and it was very cold one morning. At check out time, arrangements were made to help us avoid having to store our bags at the train station for any longer than necessary.
