Cosimo’s apartment is all you can ask for in Florence. In terms of location, it is in the middle of everything, literally. We stayed in Florence for 3 days, been to most of the major attractions, and ever taken any transportation. It also has a perfect view to the Ponte Vecchio, which is really 3 mins away, and the Uffizi is right across the river. At the same time, the entrance of the apartment is on a rather safe and quiet street, perfect for foreign travelers. I should also mention that Cosimo is very responsive and attentive with our requests. All in all, we had a great time.
