The apartment is in a perfect location. You will be 5 minutes from Duomo, 8 from Uffizi, 15 to Palazzo Pitti, 10 to Ponte Vecchio, 5 to either Piazza Signoria or Repubblica, so very central to everything. Other than day trips, you can walk everywhere. It is 3 stories up, but there is a lift, not too common in buildings like this. One note - the apartment is quite sparsely supplied. There was no Kleenex, dishwasher soap, paper towels or napkins, salt/pepper shakers, and not nearly enough toilet paper to last the 9 days of our stay. However, there is a supermarket barely a 1 minute walk away, so not a big issue.
