If we could stay longer in this apartment, we would. It was an absolute gem if you're looking to experience the Florentine life but still be just minutes from all of the tourist attractions. We had an extended stay here, and the apartment had all the modern amenities to make it feel like home - dishwasher, washer, full kitchen, etc. Florence's best gelato shop is just down the lane, along with a few great local restaurants, all nestled in a neighborhood that has local artisans and charm that you'd miss entirely if you stayed elsewhere. This was a great base to explore the entire lovely city of Florence. Caterina was an amazing host who was attentive to our needs, and was always super responsive. We'd love to come back and stay here again.
