Anna's house was in a quiet neighborhood, around 15 min walk to the closest sight seeing-Santa Croce cathedral. If you plan to explore Florence the whole day, better take the bus that stops very close to the house-1.20 euro a ride if you buy it beforehand. Parking was in front of the house door, very good if you are traveling with rental car. The apartment is on the ground floor with a small garden where we had some breakfast from the close supermarket. As it was on ground floor, the bedroom was looking at the street which was noisy in the morning as the neighbors went to work. Anna was super nice host, she had everything ready for us with recommendations, etc.
