We loved staying at Dorotea's apartment. It was beautiful! Much more space than we needed (three single ladies), but we felt very much at home. In addition to it's rich marble floors and sophisticated design, it was convenient to lots of major attractions, shopping and restaurants. It was also close to a great open air market and tobacco shops where we were able to purchase bus tickets to ride the regular street buses. I'm proud to say that we used the buses to get just about everywhere. The apartment was also very close to a hop-on/hop-off bus stop. We only used a cab on the first day and last to take all our bags to the train station. If you don't mind walking, you will be able to walk to just about every attraction in Florence. There was a little street noise at night, but I would highly recommend this apartment for your next stay.
