We stayed for 5 nights over Christmas with our daughter and her partner and the apartment was perfect. Large, spacious, comfortable, & with a lift from 1st to 3rd floor. It had everything we needed & we enjoyed our Xmas lunch of fresh pasta, salads, cheese & meats from the local markets. Best of all was being so close to the Duomo, the bells we heard often, midnight mass on Xmas eve & feeling as if it was our neighbour. So many wonderful world class galleries, museums & restaurants & cafes on our doorstep. If we turned left from the front door we were in the thick of tourist Florence but if we went right, you had small local cafes & shops. We got the tram from the airport, 1:50 euros each, & then a short 10 min walk to flat. Our host was very helpful & responded quickly to our questions. A great place for our first visit to Florence.
