The location is absolutely perfect, if you want to be in the middle of it all! It is literally a 30 second walk to the main cathedral, and right on a busy shopping street. Uffizi and Palazzo Vecchio are both a 5 minute walk away, Accademia Gallery and Ponte Vecchio are about 10 minutes, and Pitti Palace is about 15 minutes away. A nice grocery store is about 10 minutes away. Now being in the center of all the action, the downside is the noise from the street below. We had to use a white noise maker to drown out the noise. The apartment itself looks like it was recently remodeled, and was very clean. The two bedrooms are separated by the living room and kitchen, so it is perfect for 2 couples. We would return for sure!
