Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay. Everything you could possibly need can be found in the apartment. We had a car and were able to just fit it into the small garage, if you have a mid size car or bigger you will need to park in the street and those spaces did seem available. We enjoyed breakfast (salty and sweet) from the cafe directly across the street. The man in there was wonderful and spoke English. We chose to walk into central Florence so we could enjoy the city, it was about 1 1/2 miles each way. Overall our stay in the apartment was perfect!
