This apartment was bellissimo! We had a fantastic 5-day trip at this lovely apartment in the city center of Florence. This truly is in the heart of one of the busiest piazza's in the city. You can open the living room window and people watch, listen to musician's performing every evening, or simply walk downstairs and you're in the heart of the action. Florence is somewhat an all day/all night city where you can always find food places and gelateria's open until midnight. Being at this location is very beneficial because you can walk downstairs and always find what you need.
The location is in the same piazza as the Palazzo Vecchio, and very near the Piazza Republica and Ponte Vecchio. You can't go wrong with this location!
This apartment is on the 2nd floor (3rd floor US equivalent), but there is a small lift either for luggage or 1-2 individuals at a time. It was operational during our entire visit but we enjoyed the extra exercise to compensate for the extra gelato!
The apartment does have wifi but it didn't always work in every room so I would advise some sort of international plan on your phone as a backup. The wifi was strong in one room in particular and it also varied by device.
The air conditioning works very well and cools the apartment quickly. It is refreshing to have nice A/C after a long hot day in the city.
I highly recommend this apartment for your visit to Florence. My daughter is living in Florence for a year so I will definitely book again when I come to visit.
