This apartment is not only beautiful, but in the perfect location. We were able to walk to museums, gardens, and any number of restaurants from this stunning little place. The magnificent duomo is right outside the front door of the building and since the dome is visible from almost anywhere in Florence, we were never lost. The building is quiet. There is a bit of street noise from all the tourists visiting the cathedral during the day, but that all ends when tours are over around 6:00 p.m. We even met the very sweet next door neighbors on the elevator. There are a couple of supermarkets close by, as well as pharmacies, and shopping. I wish we lived there! You can rent this apartment with confidence.
