Diego's place is extremely close to the Palazzo Vecchio, with convenient access to central Florence. For us, the only issue was a broken air conditioner for the duration of our stay. Without being able to cool the place or remove the humidity from the air, the place was humid and warm. Diego was very communicative about the issue, but his technician was not able to make time to come check the A/C unit. We slept with fans blowing on us, took more showers than we otherwise would have, and enjoyed the sights of Florence. We went to the supermarket daily (just over the Ponte Vecchio) and used the kitchen in the apartment to prepare 2 meals per day. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance as well.
