A must stay. In the heart of Florence. Just a few steps and you will hit the Ponte Vecchio. Roberta is the host and she greeted us herself, which was a lovely touch. She is very passionate about Florence; living in this apartment herself at one time. She left a bottle of Chianti for us to enjoy and provided great, local recommendations. Also, this apartment is the “other side of the river,” which means while only a ~15 minute walk from the Duomo (with stunning views and cafes and restaurants along the way), you are away from the craziness (in a good way). The only thing to be aware is that the apartment is located on top of a hill. Therefore the view from your bedroom is INCREDIBLE but it may be difficult for those unable to walk a lot. Lastly, we had a scheduling conflict (completely our fault) and Roberta was so kind and gracious. You will love this place!
