The location of the Toscanella apartment was excellent. Located on a charming, narrow side street just behind the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. The air conditioning worked very well and provided a welcome refuge from the hot July temperatures. It is only a short walk to the Ponte Vecchio, the medieval gold smith store bridge, and over the Arno River to the renowned Uffizi art museum. Elevator access to the 3rd floor flat made luggage transport easy. Note there are a few steps to the 3rd floor elevator doors for those who may have trouble with any stairs. The apartment is minimal modern set in a very old, charming Florentine building. We enjoyed our stay!
