Cristiana's place has an amazing location right on top of the Arno river and with a direct line of sight to Ponte Vecchio and the Signoria. I doubt one can find a better location throughout Florence, being both less than 5min away from the main attractions and having all the quite needed to relax after a day of touring the city. The place looks even better in reality than on the pics, and has a working elevator in case it is needed, even though it is on the first floor with just one flight of stairs to climb. The location is really superb, and there are a couple of very nice restaurants on the same street, one with a Michelin mention, also a wonderful sandwich store and a very nice wine bar with a terrace on top of the river. It is less than 5min away from Palazzo Pitti as well, so you are pretty much in the center of all main sights in the city. Cristiana herself is a wonderful host who came up with recommendations whenever necessary and was very nice all around our stay. Highly recommended both as an apartment and host.
