Excellent location near the train station and an easy walk to all the big Florence attractions. Check in and out is also very smooth because it's through the hotel next door, who also allowed us to store bags for the day before check in. The apartment does have a strong "basement" smell which was an issue for us because we have allergies. The layout is also different than we thought from the photos, you enter directly into the bedroom and the kitchen is through a low makeshift hallway that my husband had to stoop to walk through. Overall we had everything we needed and the location was perfect for exploring the city but those with allergies may struggle.
