This was quite simply the perfect base for a weekend in Florence. Located literally behind the Duomo, it was within walking distance to everything - this was such a luxury, as it allowed us to come back to the apartment to relax throughout the day. The kitchen was fitted out with everything we needed to make a few meals in, and there were three supermarkets close by (not to mention the huge central food, meat & fish market). Irene & Alain were wonderful hosts - they live on the premises so were always accessible and very willing to help us during our stay. As others have mentioned, the wifi was a bit temperamental - e.g. I was always able to check my emails but it would have been hard to, say, stream a movie - but to be honest, I'd have stayed here if there was no wifi at all. Highly recommended.
