Wow...... what an an amazing apartment in the heart of Florence. My family and I (Wife and 18yr old daughter) stayed here 6/21-6/41/19. Everything from the communication to check in was impeccable. The apartment is a short walk from Firenze S. M. Novella or a 10 minute taxi ride. The streets are very narrow, so depending on the luggage you bring you can choose the best option. As for the apartment itself, we were greeted at the door and shown everything in the apartment and how to work all. The apartment is gorgeous and the decor that Paolo has chosen is outstanding. He has amazing taste and everything is laid out amazingly and he uses the best use of the space, an artist in his own right, truly words cannot do justice. The sweetest thing was they had a bottle of Proseco and some biscotti waiting for us to greet us. Everything you could need for stay was available, shampoo, conditioner, towels, soap, coffee + coffee maker, washer/dryer (huge +), refrigerator, Iron, kitchen utensils and so on. There is one 'narrow' flight of stairs to go up, but nothing crazy and easily manageable.
The apartment is essentially in walking distance to everywhere (if you don't mind walking). Right around the block from: Medici Chapels, Basilica San Lorenzo, Accademia Gallery, 'Flea' Market (place to get your leather goods!) and other sights. It is a bout a 10-15 minute walk to the Uffuzi Museum, Bargello, Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, Santa Croce Church etc. Also if walking is not your thing you can go up the block to Basilica San Lorenzo and catch a cab, or just call the local taxi company and they will pick you up right at the apartment. Restaurant Row is a 5minute walk.
There is really not one bad things I can say about this location, other than we hope to return soon. All three of us loved everything about it and made our time in Florence that much more special.
