The location is perfect to enjoy Florence without having to be in the middle of the tourist craziness: <5 minutes walk to the Duomo, easy walk to Uffizi, Palazo Vecchio, the Academia is right around the corner. The view from this third floor apartment is breath taking and we enjoyed it every day. This was the most spacious apartment we stayed in while in Italy, and our family of five was more than comfortable in it.
The restaurants in the area were fabulous, and we found two bakeries/patisserie in the area that we frequented for breads/pastries. There were 2 grocery stores that we visited as well, convenient to the location.
We also used this as a base to visit Pisa and Siena, taking the train for day trips. It was about a 15-20 minute walk to the train station, and relatively easy.
We don't mind walking - and we visited every destination on our list in Florence by foot - the Pitti Palace was the furthest, at about a 1.5 miles from the apartment, but with lots to see along the way. It is a walk up, but the view is worth the steps!
Highly recommend it, and we'd rent this property again!
