This is a fantastic apartment! The location is absolutely wonderful, a beautiful neighborhood with lots of locals, great restaurants at your doorstep, coffee shops and 5 minutes walk to the Uffizi and the center of town. It is also very quiet for how close it is to everything. . The apartment was sparkling clean and just as the pictures describe. It does not have an elevator and is on the 3rd floor, something I somehow overlooked. The stairwells are steep, many, and a bit dark. If you are older, unsteady on your feet or have a lot of luggage, think twice.
Also, we returned our rental car to the nearest Hertz location on Via Borgo Ognissanti, just 15 mins walk away from the apartment. We thought this would be easy, DO NOT DRIVE INTO FLORENCE. We literally could not get to the apartment and it took an hour of driving around in circles in horrible traffic to return the car due to the many ZTL (restricted traffic zones) all over this specific area. It is a HUGE traffic fine to drive into these zones and they were on almost every street. If you are taking a taxi or arriving via the train, you will be fine and its a quick and fairly painless walk (15 min) with luggage to the apartment from the train station. Just beware of the Northern African immigrants trying to "help" you with anything. Kindly watch your pockets and do not engage.
