The apartment is very cute and just as described/photographed. It is extremely convenient to the Duomo and central Florence and was a relatively short walk from the train. There were cobble stone streets everywhere so it was a slightly difficult walk with suitcases. It probably took 20-30 minutes or so with luggage, so plan accordingly.

The apartment itself was up 1.5 flights of stairs but not a hard climb. It was very clean and quaint. There is not AC (which is mentioned in the ad) so if you're going in the summer definitely account for that. Otherwise, the apartment was stocked with everything you'd need, from cooking utensils to maps of the city. It's really nice to be so convenient to everywhere and be able to stop home for a quick break. There's also a few groceries nearby so it's easy to pick up snacks.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend the apartment, and likely the other ones the hosts have in the same complex. Definitely a real local experience and a great place to stay.
