The apartment is wonderfully decorated. We had so much fun pouring though the various books on the shelves. The bed and linen were divine, and the shower is amazing. It's a 35 minute walk to most of the main sights, or maybe 10 minutes if you drive. We didn't rent a car, but if you do, being able to park in the compound is a huge plus. It's close the a supermarket, laundry mat, and a few good pizza places. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay here again when we return to Florence.
