Don't doubt the pictures - you may have the best view of the Duomo in Florence out the window! This was our favorite apartment during three weeks of travel around Europe. The apartment was immaculately kept, had unbelievable views, AND has A/C. Can life get better? There are a lot of stairs, so prepare yourself, but the location can't be beat. A few minute walk to the Duomo, and the river is a few minutes more. There is a market right around the corner. Lodovico was friendly and couldn't have been more helpful.
