We stayed at this apartment for 10 days in September and October of 2024
The location is wonderful as it is within a quick walking distance of all major sites in Florence. To walk down and out of the building into Piazza della Signoria was just amazing each and every time that we left the front door.
The apartment was very clean, comfortable and very welcoming. It was nicely appointed with wonderful windows that opened everywhere. We were very surprised by how large the apartment actually was. Having two bathrooms and an elevator was a definite plus. The apartment welcomed us home each evening. We only used the refrigerator and never cooked, but again, the apartment was well stocked with a variety of pans and dinnerware.
We also never used the little veranda area. Opening the windows in the apartment was all we needed to let fresh air or the sounds of city living in,
We'd heartily recommend this apartment to anyone staying in the area. A quick taxi ride from the train station dropped us around the corner. On the morning that we left, the young lady at Caffe Condotta around the corner and on Via Dell Condotta called for a taxi for us. It was less than 100 steps to haul our suitcases around the corner to catch a taxi back to the main train station.
Not only is it close in to all the major sites, it has a nice little grocery store nearby on Via Dante Alighieri--several blocks away. There are drugstores nearby as well.
Down the street on Via Della Condotta is an incredible restaurant called Gustavino Piazza Della Signoria. We suggest that you try the filet steak with gorgonzola, brandy and walnut sauce. The restaurant is beyond wonderful and the service is smart and happy and prices are reasonable for such great food.
So, if you are looking for a great walk up apartment with the convenience of an elevator then I'd definitely stay in this apartment. You will not be disappointed.
