Excellent location 5 mins from station and no more than 10mins to Duomo, Palazzio Vecchio and Ponchi Vecchio. The real gem though for My Mum and I was the Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy only next door. Miss it at your peril. The oldest pharmacy in the world filled with hand made lotions, perfumes, soaps and much much more. The apartment is perfect for zipping in and out. The only downside is 4 flights of stairs so not suitable for less abled. The hosts are friendly and communicated within an hour of every message if not sooner.
