Location is terrific -- a few streets away from the Ponte Vecchio on Oltrarno side. Easy walk to all major attractions - Duomo, Santa Croce, Piazzale Michelangelo, Palazzo Vecchio, Pitti Palace, ...Apartment is tucked away in an alley on first floor. Some noise but exterior blackout shades minimize that entirely. Nice apartment with living room, master bedroom and a third room with pullout sofa (no door but great for kids). Tiny kitchen and bathroom with washer. We had a great time!
