You couldn't ask for a better location - right in the heart of central Florence, less than 3 blocks from the Duomo. It is a busy area so bring earplugs because the streets can be loud at night. Apartment was very clean with a small kitchen if needed, but there are so many great restaurants within walking distance that we didn't need use the kitchen. I read a review saying the mattress was bad but that isn't true - bed was quite comfortable. Luca's friend Christina showed us in and gave us a map showing how to get to different sites. She gave us a tip to go to the Piazzale Michelangelo at night - do it!! Nice little apartment in the middle of a wonderful city.
