We loved the location of Frederico's apartment since we were familiar with this part of town. It is very near the Duomo, Santa Croce, the Academia and within walking distance to all the historical district of Florence. The apartment is nicely furnished and large enough to comfortably sleep our group of four. There are lots of steps but we got used to them and they didn't really bother us. Frederico arrived quickly, we called from a taxi when we left the train station. We enjoyed our stay!
