The 15-minute stroll from the train station to the building is incredible, since the building is located on a quieter street only steps away from the Palazzo Vecchio and the Duomo. The neighborhood is full of posh stores (Chanel, Hugo Boss, Louis Vuitton, etc.), but the street itself has a few quieter restaurants and shops. This is ideal, since those shopping areas can get busy with foot traffic. There are any number of incredible restaurants in the area, and Maria (who let us in to the building and showed us the unit) gave some stellar recommendations. The unit itself is exactly as pictured, and it was clean and perfectly-suited for two couples. I would stay here again and again and most likely will when we next return to Florence!
