The apt's window faces a restaurant downstairs so you will hear some of the night crowd noise and it will die down at around midnight but I wore ear plugs which was fine. Wonderful style and perfect kitchen. We loved the spacious bathroom and convenient location close to the bridges, shopping, eating. Close to Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. Can be a little cold and the heat takes a while to heat the place up (we came in December). Had to look up a YouTube tutorial on how to use the heating system but once I did, it worked (search "how to use a central heating timer" on YouTube.
