If you want to be part of the local scene and yet close walking distance to the attractions: LOOK NO FURTHER! This is the perfect spot!! The apartment has exactly what you need for a comfortable stay and it's close to the Duomo, the Uffizi, the Mercato Centrale, and the SMN train station. Every detail is attended to in terms of decor and the kitchen is small but perfectly equipped. Raffaella and her partner were the most welcoming hosts and we could not have hoped for a nicer welcome or a better place to stay during our week long visit to Florence!! I would recommend this place to anyone.
