We enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It was just "across the river" from central Florence, but also had many restaurants, gelato shop, etc just 1-2 short blocks from the apartment. The living room is the highlight of the apartment because it is furnished so beautifully and has amazing high ceilings. It also had a nice sized TV for relaxing. The apartment has 2 levels and was very spacious. There is some street noise in the living room, but it didn't bother us. The bedrooms were very quiet - no street noise.
