We had a fantastic time in Florence! There was fun gastronomia (deli/grocery store) just around the corner from the apartment where we purchased food, desserts, and some groceries: the apartment is located a mere 15 minute walk from Il Duomo Cathedral, and about 25 minutes from the Palazzo Vecchio and the Santa Maria Novella train station. The apartment itself is a little bit quirky, with an interesting shower/bathtub situation and some odd artwork, but we were more than comfortable overall and the apartment served as a great home base. Note that this AirBnB is managed by a company, not the owner of the apartment. Though there are certainly some more sumptuous listings in the area, I would recommend this apartment to the sightseer who wants a place to stay that isn't too far from the city center.
