If you are traveling as a couple I do not think there could be a better place to stay in all of Florence. Coffee on the veranda in the morning watching the city come alive as the river flows past and the morning sun does its magic on the beautiful buildings and the Ponte Vecchio, is a memory I will forever treasure. The apartment is a short walk to all the major sights. After sightseeing return to the veranda for Prosecco and enjoy the sounds of the street musicians playing on the Ponte Vecchio. The Oltarno neighborhood is full of great bars and restaurants and has a more local feel than the center.
