The terrace is the perfect place in Florence to people watch in private, and in the shade! Its a bustly plaza, with great eateries and plenty to do. The apartment is up a lot of stone steps and its design is in keeping with the area. All the basics are catered for.
Ginerva is super helpful. If its your first time visiting and you are driving, you will need to reserve a parking space in advance, thankfully Ginerva helped us with that. You will also need to know the ZTL zone access rules … google is your friend.
Keep in mind that Florence in May can still be very hot!
