We loved our stay here! Riccardo is awesome. The apartment itself is in a great area. There are many great restaurants nearby. Just a few doors down there is good gelato, a grocery store, and across the street is a cafe recommended by multiple locals (we can confirm it is good!). Florence is small so everything is nearby. We liked staying on this side of the Ponte vecchio so we could walk over it (or the other bridges) every day.
