The apartment is superbly located, we were able to do all of our sightseeing on foot. The apartment itself is very spacious, lofty ceilings and a generous floor area. Due to the style of the building (medieval tower) the apartment is a little dark so it is necessary to use the lights during the day, but its generous size does compensate for this. The apartment is very private as the living room windows are high and the glass opaque, this does however mean that you do not have an outlook from inside. Still overall the apartment is a lovely place to stay and has its own unique charm, we felt like we were living in a castle!
There is a supermarket less than 5 minutes walk away, a greengrocer at the end of the short street and plenty of restaurants close by.
Florence is an amazing city and this character filled apartment sets the scene for a truly authentic experience.
