This is an awesome top floor apartment with great views of the rooftops of Florence which includes a view of the Duomo from the loft. The place is really close to the main tourist attractions and there are great bars and restaurants all over. The hike up to the top is rough with baggage but worth it. The street noise was rowdy at times but nothing that kept us from falling asleep at night. Overall a spectacular apartment in a central location.
Side note: Taxi from train station was about 12 euro, took 10 minutes, and was quite harrowing.
