The apartment is very centrally located and you can walk to everything which is ideal so that you save on public transport. You do not need a car if planning on staying in Tommaso's place and seeing the center of the city. Close to all of the museums, the bridges, water, etc. About a 15 minute walk from the main train station, which is direct and simple. The street is typically pretty quiet on the weekends maybe a bit more noise but overall it wasn't bothersome. The apartment has the very basics for cooking if you will be eating in and having a washing machine is very handy if traveling to more than one city. The one flight of stairs are steep but not too many and makes for a better view out of the windows than being on the ground floor. The bed is comfortable and the apartment was very clean. It is a great apartment if looking to stay in the center of Florence.
