Okay so it’s a little bit on the expensive side.... it’s more than you wanted to pay.. but trust me go ahead and treat yourselves. If you are spending a short time in Florence this is the apartment for you. Walk out the door in the morning to the Uffizi, a few blocks to Ponte Vecchio and a couple of blocks in the other direction to the Duomo. It’s ridiculously easy to get everywhere you need to get to. And at the same time it’s quiet in the evening. Beautiful touches inside the apartment by Marie who is a great host who can recommend excellent places to eat. We walked from the train station with children.
