We had a perfect stay at Cosimo's studio apartment which is superbly located right near the Ponte Vecchio and within walking distance to all the attractions in Florence as well as lots of bars, restaurants and gelato shops. We would recommend the Piazza Santo Spirito which has a good atmosphere and some excellent places for a drink, Gusta Pizza nearby, which was hands down the best pizza we had, and the Osteria Del Cinghiale de Bianco (just a minute walk from the apartment on the same street) for amazing and authentic Tuscan food.

Cosimo and Giudetta met us outside and showed us up to the apartment which was impeccably clean and well decorated. Even though it was very hot in Florence (being July) the apartment was kept cool at all times with air conditioning. They had kindly left some beers and snacks for us along with a few other essentials. The sofa bed was not uncomfortable, although we decided to just sleep on the mattress so we could also make use of the sofa to sit on.

The apartment was perfect for a week in Florence, and is ideal for couples looking for a perfectly located place to stay right in the heart of the city. We would highly recommend it.
