This apartment is perfectly located in historic Florence. All necessary locations such as grocery, laundry, shops, outdoor market, etc are within minutes. A great bakery and a huge selection of fabulous restaurants are also very close. The longest walk is to the train which is about 15 to 20 minutes, but it is a beautiful walk. Almost all of the historical sites are much closer. A car would be a waste of time and money, since it would take longer to drive and park than to walk.
The apartment itself is large and open. We spent a month there, and it became home. A large hotel room would feel tiny after a week, but the apartment never felt small to us. It is well appointed with dishes, linens, towels, cleaning products, and cooking utensils. We were able to prepare full, gourmet dinners and entertain several friends. Two bathrooms are very convenient, and yes, it can sleep 4, but it is better situated for 2 pr 3.
The owner is not a typical landlord. He is a gracious host who is always available. After one month we consider him our new friend who lives in Florence.
We plan to stay again and often. There is no reason to search for another place.
