The apartment is in a perfect location for newcomers to Florence or the returning visitor. You are less than two minutes from the Duomo, five minutes from the Uffizi and a few more to the Ponte Vecchio. The apartment is well furnished. Despite a lot of foot traffic outside the building, it is quiet in the apartment, so you never feel as if you are adjacent to the tourist frenzy. Grocery stores, shops of all kinds and a variety of restaurants are in abundance near the apartment. One more advantage is that you can walk to the apartment in 12-15 minutes from the T2 tram which runs from the Airport to the Unita station (adjacent to the main train station). It was a pleasure staying at Stefano's location and will hopefully return in the future.
