we had a wonderful time staying in this really stunning apartment. it felt like a palace in another time and we loved the mix of original floors, high ceilings, and older structures with the modern artwork and touches. the apartment definitely feels authentic and older, so it's a great fit for people who want a more genuine florence experience. the outdoor area was adorable and made the apartment feel very private. and the location is fantastic - easy walking distance to uffizi, palazzo vecchio, ponte vecchio, santa croce, the duomo, and all the best shopping that florence has to offer. our host was communicative and easy to reach and even arranged parking for us. we would definitely return our next time in florence.
