The location was perfect and walking distance to a market as well as the museums, statues, churches etc. The food in the restaurants is very expensive and the quality is not very good. Every restaurant seems to have the same items on the menu pizza, gelato, pasta, and the bread was bland in every restaurant we ate in. It’s too bad they don’t have more variety. Parking is expensive as well and you have to be careful to stay out of the restricted traffic zones in the center of the city or you will pay a hefty fine. If we had to do it over again we would stay outside of Florence and take public transportation into the city to see the sights unless you like big crowds, long lines at events, and challenging traffic. On a positive note, The Piazza Del Duomo at night is beautiful with all the lights and music and there is a beautiful day Time walk across the river up the pathways towards the fort.
