The apartment is exactly as pictured. As others have noted, we found the space quite spacious. Getting to the apartment was pretty easy geographically with our use of Google maps. However, we walked and weren't prepared for the 20-30 minute trek on the precarious Florence urban streets with our luggage. If you're interested in the adventure while dodging tourists, locals, vendors and keeping an eye on your phone then go for it. Our next time we will reserve a car via Airports Taxi Transport which picks up at the Firenze SMN train station. We decided to use the transport company for our return to the airport and it was totally worth the door-to-door service for about 39 Euros.
Upon arrival to the block where the apartment was located we were a bit confused and couldn't find it. Luckily, Michela had Ilaria greet us and when I texted her to let her know we were close by she quickly found us and guided us to the building.
The apartment was 3+ flights up a narrow winding staircase so be ready. It was totally worth the climb but after the walk from SMN we were exhausted.
Ilaria gave us a tour of the apartment and was very kind to give us an overview of local sights. She provided lots of great tips of places to visit and noted their proximity via marks on a map that she gave us.
The living room space has very bright lighting and no AC. While it was not oppressively hot a fan to circulate air from the windows would have been ideal.
The front of the apartment was quite lively with street noise at night which we loved and made for great people watching. The bedrooms provided a quiet retreat at bedtime.
Our only five gripes were that there were no small washcloths, Ilaria promised to be available via text to assist with securing a cab for our departure but she never responded to the text so we ended up having to research options for transport ourselves, Michela requested access to the apartment so that her husband can get a remote that was working (but it wasn't anything we had mentioned or even noticed) at 8:30pm the night before our departure but she was okay when I suggested that she waited until we departed early the next morning, the shower head was loosely fitted so it sprayed water in odd directions, and the overt display of the many house rules.
All and all I would recommend the space for travelers. It was centrally located near mostly everything including convenience stores, grocery, restaurants, bars, shopping, and sights.
