Firstly, you will not find a better apartment in Florence. Not only is it in a top top location within short walking distance of practically all the main sites, but it is almost palatial. It has lift access which was a bonus with our luggage and it has a huge decorated ceiling (I believe the building is originally 16th century) with a perfect layout. Everything is extremely modern inside as well including the kitchen which is fully functional and which we used to make breakfast and dinners with no problems. Roberta had stocked the apartment with everything we needed including soaps and washing powder (washing machine is another bonus). The apartment has a Wi-Fi connected Mac computer in a study nook upstairs which was great and Wi-Fi and heating throughout the apartment. Roberta herself was the perfect host keeping in touch with us before our check in and also provided some great tips on the city e.g. attractions and restaurants. She even made a restaurant booking for us at a great restaurant overlooking the Pontevecchio. If you are looking at this listing, go no further and snap this one up quickly. I only wish I lived here myself.
