The apartment is ideally situated midpoint for visiting the Accademia and Uffizi / Pitti Palace / Ponte Vecchio and Boboli Gardens, of course the Duomo and Baptistry/ Bell Tower / Museum are on the doorstep! A combined ticket for a timed visit to the Duomo allows entry to the museum ,which is incredible and well worth a visit. Cristina met us promptly and was very quick responding to my messages. The apartment has an amazing view of the Duomo, good facilities and everything spotlessly clean. We found the air con units could be slightly noisy but as we used the fan at night time this wasn’t a problem. Don’t be put off by the previous reviews of the lift only reaching floor 3 as we didn’t have a problem with the last flight, especially if you wish to climb the 463 Duomo and Giottos Tower! We would recommend for location alone, we didn’t have a problem with neighbour noise, unless you may find the bells an annoying neighbour, which we didn’t..
