What a wonderful apartment and neighborhood. Only a 10 minute walk to the Duomo, and the Ponte Vecchio was at the end of the block, but it was away from the thundering herds of tourists. The location could not be better. The restaurant recommendations Alfredo left were great (do not miss Gusta Pizza), as was the bottle of wine. The apartment was beautiful, the bed was perfectly comfortable. Honestly, it would be hard to improve on this place. If you are thinking about renting an apartment in Florence, it would be hard to do better than this.
