The neighborhood is great if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Florence. Keep in mind that it is an hour walk to see any of the sights in Florence. There is a taxi stand nearby that makes it easy to get into town if needed.
The neighborhood is quaint and the apartment is just enough space for two people. Cristina is very sweet and helpful and left food and wine for us to enjoy. She was a bit late to meet us to give us the key but it was no big deal.
Overall, it's a great spot if you are on a budget and want to stay out of the busy-ness of downtown. We enjoyed staying here during our visit.
