The apartment is in an ideal location to enjoy the city, with many great sights very close (but not too close) to the apartment. Florence had mobs of tourists and we were just out of the throng which is great. The bed is fairly firm, but comfortable. We went to La Specola which was very close and explored the gardens behind. There is a lovely restaurant right below the apartment, funky and good, and not far across the street is Pizza Gusto with really great pizza. We enjoyed our stay.
