The apartment is centrally located a few steps from the Duomo and only a few minutes away to other major locations (Santa Croce, Ponte Vecchio, Plaza de la Republica, etc). Waking up to the view of the Duomo is priceless just like also spending time at the terrace. I strongly recommend this apartment to family and friends visiting Florence. There are quite a few steps to get to the apartment, but it compensates for getting that extra Gelato.
