I had a great time here for 11 nights in Florence! you can walk anywhere in Florence from this apartment. It is nicely decorated and has a good little kitchen and really feels like home. It is close to Santa Croce Square. For many centuries this square has been used for public events. It can be loud if you are very noise sensitive. I actually enjoyed it as a solo traveler as it made me feel involved with the scene. If you want to live like a Florentine, this is a good choice. I really enjoyed the decorating touches, the bookshelves of English and Italian books, and the clever design of the studio apartment. But what I loved most about it was being able to walk anywhere in Florence I wanted. Thank you Marella!
