This apartment is in a fantastic location--it's only about a 4 minute walk to the Duomo, but you feel like you're tucked in to this secret corner of Florence! Don't get me wrong, it's busy--Casa di Dante attracts walking tours, taxis, horse-drawn carriages, so it can get loud with the windows open, but if you're trying to be in a central location away from the craziness near the Duomo, this is a great spot. Fantastic bar/cafe only two doors away with vintage records lining the place. Two notes: we stayed during a very hot time in early September and the air conditioning just was not strong enough. She warns you above, but those four flights of steps up to the apartment are no joke!
