If you are lucky enough to stay at this apartment you will find it as represented if not better. Close to everything you would want to see in Florence. We loved walking out on to a street full of life and yet it was quiet in the apartment. On our first night we couldn't believe that when we walked around the block we were on the Steps of the Uffuzi Gallery and the Academia. Keep going straight and turn right and there's the Ponte Vecchio. Food was at various prices in the Via Por Santa Maria but tucked down the alley behind the apartment you'll find a Trattoria Buca Poldo reasonable priced and the best service and food we had in our 2 and 1/2 months of holiday. Paulo was amazing gave us good information and made sure we understood everything. We had the best time and highly recommend this apartment. If we can get back (which we are going to try too) we would very much like to stay here. Thank you so much. Jan and Linds
