Silvia’s place is centrally located as evident by the view of the duomo. Almost all sites are within walking distance including Uffizi and Accademia galleries, Santa Croce, Boboli Gardens. There are shops and food options right outside the compound. The apartment is spacious and complete, clean and comfortable. There is a separate area for the kitchen and bathroom. Silvia is very gracious and even helped me carry my luggage. The only downside, as other guests have mentioned and was clearly stated in the listing, is that the apartment is on the 4th floor of a building that has no elevator. That has to be taken into consideration. You have to be somewhat physically fit to enjoy the place. Otherwise, we highly recommend Silvia’s apartment.
