Ideal location within 3 to 4 blocks of all the major Florence sites. The apartment was across the street from the major train station with lots of people but we always felt extremely safe. Within one block of our apartment we were in wonderful place in Florence walking in every direction. February was an ideal time to be in Florence. it was not too cold and although there were many tourist, especially college age students, we never had any trouble getting into any of the major sites. We got to the Uffici Gallery without reservations, 15 minutes after it opened and there was only one couple in line ahead of us. This apartment has our highest recommendation. Many thanks to Andrea and his housekeeper, Anita. Bob and Georgie Weilbaecher
