Excellent location within walking distance to all tourist sites within Florence!
The apartment itself is huge with high ceilings and wonderful antiques throughout. The house had towels, linens and a decently stocked kitchen. 1 bathroom was amazingly outfitted with walk in shower and his and hers sinks. The smaller bathroom had a unique (very small!) shower but still manageable for my tall husband. Not an issue as in old apartments some oddities are to be expected. The AC kept us cool despite outside temperatures hitting 40 C so this was a must.
The hosts were friendly with check-in but please make sure to note all time constraints regarding timing of check-in. We were 15 minutes late (7:15 instead of 7) due to an accident in Italy and subsequent traffic jam so were forced to pay 25 Euro. We had given advanced notice but, rules are rules, so be aware of them and give yourself some extra time to deal with notorious traffic and other surprises! Please also read the details section carefully as certain "amenities" are cost options that you will effectively rent for your stay.
Please also be aware you are DIRECTLY downtown and, as such, you will have a good amount of noise in the morning in some areas of the house. The back 2 rooms are absolutely dead quiet but the main room and living room is directly on the street so around 6 AM you will hear market stalls rolling by, street cleaners, and trash being collected. Not an issue with the apartment as this is just to be expected so close to a city center.
The host will give you a list of directions but we found it to be entirely impossible to use as it is simply street names with no guidance in terms of distance and no set starting point. They informed us google maps would get us lost but it was all we could rely on when we got into the city and it actually got us there perfectly.
The garage next door was fantastic and, despite being expensive, was so close it made things very easy to load and unload everything.
Overall a few minor headaches but an otherwise excellent stay.
