The Badese apartment was very spacious, clean, and very well organized. It is perfectly located within 10-15 minutes walk from all the major sites (Academia, Ufizi, all the main squares, and great restaurants and bars). The only downside as others has mentioned was the noise. There are couple of bars nearby and noise can be obnoxious (mostly young Americans). Having read that we came prepared with earplugs and we're fine. Caterina and Michele were very responsive prior to our stay and welcomed us with a fine bottle of Chianti and great recommendations for places nearby. Make sure you try Il Pizzaolo. I'm from New York and have had Chicago pizza, this is way better. Overall, great apartment centrally located and great hosts.
