Beautifully situated apartment with an expansive view of the Duomo. We arrived on an early February afternoon and could hear somebody practicing operatic singing accompanied by a piano a few buildings over. With the Duomo filling the scene from the balcony, it was a unique welcome to Florence. The very comfortable apartment is perfectly situated with plenty of good food nearby and walkable to the central sites in the cultural center. Easy walk to the central market as well, which was a lively option for food; we also enjoyed Fishing Lab Alle Murate for a change of pace from the Tuscan Trattoria meals. Being so central made it easy to schedule and pay visits to the Duomo, Galleria Accademia, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, and to stroll the streets. Climb Giotto's campanile around the top of the hour or at the half hour and enjoy the ringing of the bells from up close. One can also enjoy them from the apartment itself. Max was a wonderful and helpful host!
