The apartment was very clean, spacious, and has a great view of the Galileo Museum and the Arno river. On the ground level of the building, there is a small bar/cafe which stays open until 10 PM. It could be a little noisy around closing time, but this was not a real problem. On the plus side, the cafe is a very convenient spot for your your morning coffee and cornetti run.
The parking garage is reasonably close (about 2.5 blocks away), and the experience checking the car in/out was relatively painless. One must keep in mind that parking within the center of Florence is a very rare treat, so having this coordinated by Ilaria was a big plus for us.
In all, we really liked the apartment. Ilaria was very welcoming and helpful with our questions, and we would definitely consider this spot for our future trips.
