What a little Gem. This small 2 bed apartment on the 4th floor of a 15th century building right in the middle of Florence is brilliant. We stayed here for 3 nights and could not have been better placed because it is literally 100 mtrs from the Ponte Vecchio and all the other beautiful sights in the city. Because of the wonderful location we did not feel that we had walked too much even after 3 days.

The owner of the apartment met us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment and had stocked the fridge and cupboard with all the essentials we needed for a lovely breakfast. We just had to pop out the door and walk around 20 metres to buy fresh bread each morning but otherwise all we needed was provided and more. It was lovely to relax in an apartment that was big enough for us and our 15 year old son without feeling like we were under each others feet.

For the price and LOCATION, you can't do better than this 2BR perfect apartment literally steps away from PONTE VECCHIO and other landmarks!! Breakfast/snack foods were plentiful and a grocery store + 2 restaurants are just a few doors down. A/C worked great, everything was totally perfect! GRAZIE MILLE!

La Loggia at Via delle Terme 19 is a great location but is not within walking distance of the train station--we tried, got lost, ended up calling a cab. Also, the phone number on the website is not correct--since we couldn't reach the proprietor to get the key, we almost gave up and went to another hotel. As a last resort I called the phone number on the building (at the entrance)--fortunately, that was the number for Mr. Aquisto, who rushed over to let us in. He did everything in his power to accomodate us after this rocky start.
The apt is pretty and plenty of room for our family of four, Kitchen with small sitting area, table, TV. The rooms were full of light and clean (one queen in the master, and bunkbed in the other bedroom), and the airconditioning worked great (separate controls for each room). There is a lift (5 flights of stairs) but it was too small for me to use (claustrophic!) and only fit one (maybe 2) at a time anyway. The refrigerator was stocked with several days worth of bottled water (which we appreciated because of the heat), and there was a basket of pastries for breakfast. Coffee and coffee makers, kitchen well equipped. Hairdryer, shampoo, soap in the nice bathroom; towels were scratchy and stiff (air dried I guess).
The only real issue was an odor which we debated the cause of--my husband thought it was bug spray, my boys thought it was curry (from cooking in the next apartment)...never knew but it remained the whole time we were there (3 days).
Excellent, reasonable family restaurant right on the same street--take a right, walk 50 meters--Nella. And everything at your fingertips--Piazza Signoria very close, and Ponte Vecchio practically around the corner. Perfect location really, quiet, lovely and within reach of everything.
