The location was fantastic and within easy walking distance to the train station and all the sites. The street is quite lively but we found the apartment very quiet. We enjoyed delicious bakeries (Cantinetta dei Verrazzano) and gelato shops (Perche No) nearby. Groceries (Pegna and Carrefour) were also very convenient and had all we could want. The washer/dryer were great to have so that we could pack light!
