Really nice apartment with plenty of space and many thoughtful touches such as maps and coffee. The owners were very responsive and helped us promptly with every issue. The neighborhood was nice, not in center, but 5-10 minutes from attractions such as Santa Maria La Croce, the Duomo, and the Uffizi. There is an excellent restaurant just around the corner, Touch bistro toscano, which offered excellent food, wine, and even great service! There are also several small markets and supermarkets in the area and we lacked for nothing during our stay. If you are arriving from Santa Maria Novella, expect a 20 minute walk, and then nearly 30 minutes to piazzale Montelungo, where most of the bus tours leave from. There is also a taxi pickup 5 minutes down the road at Santa Maria La Croce if you prefer that route. Overall we loved our stay and would happily recommend to anyone who doesn't mind a reasonable walk to all the attractions in downtown Florence.
