The photo's are accurate. The space is spotless. The neighborhood is vibrant with plenty of shopping, restaurants and sightseeing in sort distance.
We were able to visit everything on our list within easy walking distance although there was public transport fight outside the door.,
But probably the biggest plus was Claudio, the son of the property manager Michelangelo. Michelangelo contacted us a few days before arrival to arrange meeting at the apartment and check in. Claudio was there to greet us, carried our bags up the stairs and explained the functioning of all the applicances and the blue tooth speakers which were amazing. Music over coffee in the mornings with an excellent espresso machine and plenty of coffee capsules. Breakfast, enough for a few days, was already in the chiller.
Claudio was kind enought to make restaurant reservations for us and his local favorites, all within walking distance. But most importantly, he made taxi reservations for us to the train station on day of departure so we would not have to walk to the taxi stand some 7 minutes away. He made our holiday special.
Not to be missed: the central market, Uffizi gallery (buy tickets in advance!) Ponte Vecchio, Duomo (also get tickets in advance!).
Just past the Ponte Vecchio, on the Uffizi side of the river is a wonderful hotel with a very comfortable outdoor seating area for coffee and drinks.
It was one of the nicest places we ever rented and would return anytime we visit Florence.
Florence is a city everyone should visit at least once in thier lifetime.
