We arrived at midnight at the flat with a car and elly went out of her way to make sure we could get into a garage round the corner (not an easy task in Florence). The apartment is in an amazing location only 10mins walk from the main tourist area but away from the crowds south of the river and next to the piazza santo spirito, which is filled with Italians at some bars and restaurants. A real treat to not be stuck in tourist hell. The apartment itself is big and has bundles of character. We had a great time and i'd recommend it to anyone staying in Florence with 5 or more people.
