The apartment is in a very noisy area with the bar,restaurant and pizza place going till 2am. We had our own earplugs to help block it out. But the location of the apartment is excellent located within easy walking distance of all the main sights. There is a supermarket close by and a Wash n Dry located 100metres down Della Algnoro. The pictures are exactly what you get and the facilities are excellent. Paolo has provided all you need to enjoy your stay in Florence
