This is a wonderful apartment in an excellent location for a reasonable price. The apartment itself is spacious and welcoming. The location is just a couple of minutes from the train station and an easy walk to the Duomo, restaurants, and the main shopping area. The streets outside do get a little noisy, but we didn't mind and very much enjoyed our stay. We met up with Sharika's mother who gave us the keys, information about Florence, and a bag of biscotti to make us feel welcome. Highly recommended.
