Egert' s place is about 6 minutes walk from SMN train station which is convenient. It's also close to main attractions of Florence like the duomo. Lots of restaurants to choose from around the neighborhood. The apartment is quite nice and clean. Although there was no lift Egert's father helped me with my luggage. The only downside is that it can be a little noisy in the middle of the night as the street sweeper does it's round. Overall it was a nice apartment in a great location.
