We came to Florence to see the Uffizi and crush steak. The apt location was on a lovely quiet alley/street a couple of blocks from the Uffizi, and many other prominent sites. (Duomo, ponte vecchio, the pig statue, etc) As tips to future visitors our apt was on the 4th floor(walk up), the lights in the building can be a little dicey, and there was a bell tower nearby the chimed the hours. Also, the villo vecchio restaurant next door... service there is a lil tooo italian, try elsewhere. Florence is a great city to bike in, get one of the mobile bike share apps. best way to get around. like...apt to the duomo... 3 minutes. 88 cents. can't beat it. Apt is an internal apartment within a larger home, locking private door. We had a cute patio. Accommodations were bare bones but as a place to sleep after day of site seeing, perfectly fine
