The place is located in a quiet residential area so I feel like I am living like a local - close to grocery store, bakery, pharmacy, bank, flower shop, some retail shops and even a coin-operated laundry place. The tram runs every 5 minutes so it is easy to go to and from Firenze Santa Maria Novella main train terminal which, in turn, is walking distance to most tourist spots Edward is a gracious host and responsive to my inquiries. I had a pleasant stay. Highly recommended.
