With its gorgeous antique hardwood furnishings and library of fascinating books, this apartment gives you the classic "bed and breakfast" environment. Yet it has been updated with modern appliances.
The location is fantastic. The piazza just outside is very lively from late morning, when there is a farmers' market, to late night, when diners spill out from the restaurants downstairs.
The apartment is thirty steps up from the street, and remains peaceful and quiet.
We found modernist cuisine at an incredible value at Logo, just a ten-minute walk away. Antica Pizzeria Regine was even closer and rivaled the best pizza in Naples, and Gelateria Artigianale La Sorbetteria had the best gelato we've had in Italy.
Nearby attractions include Pitti Palace and the Uffizi Gallery. Museo Accademie, where Michaelangelo's David is housed, is a twenty-minute walk through the high-end shopping district.
Egla met us at the apartment, introduced the place and also booked a taxi for us upon departure.
