The location is absolutely fantastic; virtually all of the landmarks and museums a tourist will want to visit are within walking distance (20-minute walk maximum). The room was also equipped with air conditioning, which was useful in the Italian summer heat. Laura is a friendly host, and will make your stay comfortable. If I must state a downside to make the review fair, it's that the apartment is the top floor of a 5 story walk-up. I found it manageable, but it can be intimidating after a long day of walking around the city. Regardless, the prime location cannot be beat, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who's planning a sightseeing trip to Florence.
