The apartment was a pleasant surprise. It is such a great price and the apartment was very clean and bright. A joy to come back to after a long day. The beds are comfortable and the apartment provides a lot of nice space to gather. The only surprise was that the bathrooms for two of the bedrooms is down the hall but that is not a problem at all. The view is absolutely amazing. Such a treat to wake up to and then again to watch the sun set at night. The neighborhood is a little eclectic but fairly close to everything. There is a great pastry shop just around the corner for coffees and pastries every morning and several good resteraunt near buy. One of the finest restaurants in Florence we realized was in the same block as the apartment called Locale. It is not inexpensive but is wonderful food and is rich in history. Enjoy
