This is the perfect place to stay in Florence. It is in a 600 year old Palace, but the apartment is modern and beautiful and very comfortable with high-end finishes. The View of the Duomo is breathtaking. There are lots of restaurants and even a grocery store within a block. The Elevator was a big help---there still is just one flight of very easy steps to use to get to the apt. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Florence.
