I was disappointed at first to realize that this place was on the other side of the Arno, but it made absolutely no difference. This neat apartment is at the foot of the Ponte Vecchio, which you will want to take to see the shops on each side. Once you are on the other side, the major sights you will want to see are all right there, within just a few minutes. The place itself is very neat and modern. The bedroom is in a loft above the living area/kitchen, and there is also a nice dining area. This would be a great place for an extended visit. The owner and her staff were very helpful and nice. I hope to return!
