The apartment was a really nice place that was decorated very whimsically. It's also in a slightly quieter part of town being about a block away from a large restaurant area. But it was still very close to all the action. It's about a 5 minute walk (at most) to the main train station (Firenze SMN) and a 5 minute walk to the Mercato, and another few minutes past that to get to the Duomo. It got a bit cold in the apartment during the evenings but there were plenty of blankets if needed. One thing to note is that the washer/dryer in the complex (not in the unit) is coin-op and only takes 1 euro and 50 cent euro coins, so remember to hoard those coins for when you need to do laundry!
