Central location! We just walked around to reach all the tourist spots in Florence. You can choose to walk to the apartment from the train station or take a bus, either number 14 or 23.
Lots of restaurants and cafe in the area. There are also laundry shops incase you need to do laundry. Small groceries stalls for everyday shopping.
Stairs to go to the apartment but its just one floor up so its manageable.
We enjoyed our stay.
