Fantastic location 1 block from the duomo. Secluded enough for privacy, yet so close to all the activities, shopping, restaurants, and sites around the city. 15 min walk to the train station which can take you anywhere in Italy for day trips. We went to Pisa 1 day ( 1 hr train ride) & Sienna (1hr 30 min train ride). With a ton of coffee shops on the way to the train station from the apartment it makes for a good hub. Castellana (around the corner) is an amazing cigar shop run by a local guy there for 35+ years. I bought a few dozen very well priced Cubans. Overall great experience and highly recommend couples visiting Florence.
