We had a lovely stay in Florence. This apartment is well-located near Via San Niccolo, so we walked up to the Piazzele Michelangelo to enjoy sunset on our first night. Also easy to get to: Pitti Palace (right around the corner), an extensive supermarket, Ponte Vecchio, the Santo Spirito neighborhood -- and it doesn't take long to across the river to the Mercato Centrale, Santa Maria, Novella, the Duomo, etc. We walked everywhere. Marie was easy to communicate with, left lots of good recommendations in her book, and willing to call us a taxi for our departure. We loved it all!
