This unit is beautiful, and worked well for our family. It is in a location convenient to Boboli Gardens, about one minute from the entrance. For families visiting, you can purchase an annual family pass for 101 euro at the Pitti Palace ticket office that gets everyone into the Uffizi, Pitti Palace and several other museums, but also Boboli, and then you can walk back and forth each day between this unit and the Ponte Vecchio through the gardens if you'd like. There is a grocery, a gelato store, and several good restaurants convenient to the apartment.
The apartment itself is spotless, wonderfully decorated, and spacious enough to be able to relax at the end of a day of touring. The beds are very comfortable. However, even though the apartment was stellar, the highlight of the stay was the attentiveness of Simone, who is a delightful host. He met us at check-in and reviewed everything with us. He left us a refrigerator full of bottled water and several bottles of wine. He also assisted us with taxi reservations. On the morning of our check-out, we had a 0755 train for Milan, and Simone had reserved a 0700 cab for us. We were surprised and delighted to see Simone come to see us off and make sure everything went smoothly. That went above and beyond, and was so appreciated. It reduced stress for us. If you are thinking of booking this unit, you will not be disappointed. We will not hesitate to recommend Simone to friends of ours who are traveling to Florence!
