This apartment is great. We actually booked it last minute because we made a mistake and had an extra day in Florence without accommodation and the hosts were super helpful with communication. In fact, I wish we had booked this place for the entire time. It's about 1 km from the center of Florence, and honestly that was the allure. It's a little quieter, but still plenty of places to eat right nearby. It's a 20 minute walk to center Florence or a quick 5 minute bus trip that picks you up right near the apartment. The actual apartment was also SPOTLESS and super well equipped. I highly recommend!
