This is an amazing location. You are right in the middle of everything. You could even make out the building from the top of the Duomo. Communication with Lisa and her daughter was great. They were able to accommodate our early check in. The apartment was a key component to a fantastic trip to Florence. The amenities were great-- though with the food in Italy we didn't really take advantage. We are city people, so the hustle and bustle didn't bother us.
