The location of this place cannot be surpassed. Read up on the history of the Albizi family, the Medici family and Georgio Vasari( the artist who painted the ceiling in this apartment, which is part of the Baronessa Albizi's palace, he painted the east corridor of the Uffizi, too). The street side bedrooms are noisy with street life... all hours of the night. But the other side of the apartment, the bedroom off of the terrace is quiet as a mouse. If you are planning to eat out, the kitchen is fine, otherwise not overly well set. Although, I did love the china cupboard full of dishes. We absolutely loved our stay. Shopping, supermarket, restaurants, pastries-everything-are just steps away! You will be lucky to stay here!
