If you are looking for a stylish, upscale stay experience in Florence, you've found it. This place was absolutely lovely. First of all, it's huge, and beautifully done! The kitchen is very well equipped -- if you want to do some of your own cooking while you're in Tuscany, you'll find everything you need here. The windows look out on one of the smaller local squares with a couple of restaurants, a coffee shop that seems to be popular with the locals, and a gelateria. The place is brimming with busy Florentine life -- yet when you shut the windows and shutters, you can't hear it anymore. The location couldn't be better -- a short walk from the Ponte Vecchio and the Ponte Santa Trinita, and very convenient to the Lugarno Garage. All in all this is a fantastic stay in Florence!
(Useful tip -- if you happen to be renting or bringing a car on your trip, old Florence is extremely car UNfriendly -- you can't drive in the old town there unless you're going directly to one of the parking garages. When you enter the restricted ZTL area, they take a photo of your license plate, and you have three hours to get to a garage, where they'll notify the police to cancel the violation. If you drive in the ZTL without staying in a garage, the fine is hundreds of Euros, and they're very strict about this).
