Right in the middle of so much history. You’ll see paintings that feature the Piazza Della Signoria when you visit the Uffizi gallery right across from the apartment. Regarding the noise in some other reviews, we opened our windows every night to let in the music from the street performers which settles at reasonable times. The windows can be sealed such that very minimal noise enters the apartment. The entrance is very secure as well. AC was a big plus as well considering our trip was in the summer! You can’t beat this place for anyone interested in Florentine history. We hope to stay here again in the future!
