Look no further, you have found the perfect place to stay in Florence! Right in the center of the historical district, just a 5 minute walk to the Duomo, the Uffizi, the Arno, etc. The building itself is on a charming little side street, on a tiny public square where we had our cappuccino each morning. This little square also has a chapel from the 1400s and a tower built in the 11th century; you will see all this every day before you even go anywhere!
The apartment itself is small, clean, and cozy. The bed is so comfortable, the shower is tiny but great water pressure and endless hot water. Florence was having a heat wave while we were there and the air conditioning in the bedroom kept up with it, no problem! We felt so at home there. It is four staircase up to the apartment (no elevator), but we considered that a plus as it was a daily chance for exercise to offset all the gelato we ate!
Silvia, the host, was so warm and hospitable, answered all our texts/emails immediately, and offered great local tips about the neighborhood. We had a wonderful week here and we can't wait to stay here again!
