I cannot say enough about how GORGEOUS this apartment is! I might consider returning to Florence just to stay here! The photos don't do it justice. Just renovated, beautifully designed, modern and comfortable. Furthermore, Raffaella and Michelangelo are two of the friendliest people we've ever met. They left us a wonderful bottle of Chianti as a welcome gift and spent considerable time with us going over a map of the city and pointing out their favorite restaurants, squares, and gelaterias. They were eager to hear our plans and offer advice about how to get the most out of our stay. The neighborhood was great and very walkable. Countless shops and restaurants nearby. About a 15-minute walk from the SMN train station, 5 minutes from the Duomo and the David. We also enjoyed longer walks across the river to the Piazzale Michelangelo and Ponte Vecchio (about 20 minutes).

In short, you should stay here! Highly, highly recommended.
