We loved our 4 nights at Violets House. The apartment has everything you need & more, Riccardo met us, was lovely, very helpful & left a bottle of wine, croissants, bottled water, all very much appreciated. Location good, it is a street away from main hotel area so not as busy but we felt safe out at night. Fabulous large market for leather goods & a food market only 10 mins walk. Recommend a small restaurant La Gratella a few minutes away, Santa Maria train station a 10 - 15 min walk. Many of the main sites are within walking distance from here. Had a wonderful time in Florence & would stay here again.
