The apartment was just as the photos showed. The location of the apartment was nothing more convenient one can expect. It was literally across the road from the Santa Maria Novella train station and was walking distance from everything else. It had all the basic facilities one would need after a day long outing in the city or day trip in the area. Cleanliness was acceptable.
Andrea was helpful and provided extra information, e.g. luggage storage nearby, before the trip.
