This location can't be beat! Located in the middle of everything, steps to most everything you want to see and do, with wonderful restaurants, shops, and cafés near by. This is the place to stay in Florence. The view is beautiful of Ponte Vecchio and the Arno. There is some noise in the bedrooms from the street below, but when we turned on the fan/air conditioners in the bed rooms (in 2 of the 3 bed-rooms), they worked like white nose and blocked out all the street noise. Terrific black out shades for sleeping in and for adjusting to the time change. 2 roomy Comfortable beds, 1 small twin bed. Decent showers and decent water pressure. At the end of our days, walking miles touring this beautiful city, this apartment felt like home away from home while we were in Florence. I would stay here again in a minute!
