If you are traveling by train, this is an especially convenient location - just exit the train station, cross Piazza SMN and you are there. It's a spacious split level apartment, with master bedroom and bathroom upstairs, and living room / dine-in kitchen downstairs. We are a family of four with two teenage children and found the flat very comfortable. As in the photos, the apartment is nicely furnished in a old-fashioned, "grandma's house" style - very quaint, but still very functional. It shares may of the quirks of other older apartments I've visited in Italy - low water pressure, a couple of the electric outlets don't work - but it has no serious deficiencies. The kitchen is well equipped for making simple meals, although with so main great restaurants near by we didn't do much cooking. Lastly, Elly is a great hostess. She greets you warmly and will give you many great suggestions sightseeing, restaurants, etc. She clearly loves Florence, and is a great representative of her city.
