It was slightly difficult to communicate with the host as I do not speak Italian and she does not speak English. She was, however, evidently very nice, warm, and welcoming. I wanted to check in early because my train to Florence was faster than expected, but the host did not answer me for over 3 hours so I had to lug my bags around the area and wait. The location was perfect as it is walking distance to the most visited areas, such as Ponte Vecchio, shopping areas, several restaurants, and more. It is a great apartment if you want to experience how other locals typically live - do not expect much space and neighbors/outsiders can easily be heard.
