Elena and Gabrielle is very nice, accommodating hosts. The apartment is right behind the Palazzo Vecchio, which means everything is reachable in 10 mins on foot. There is very famous sandwich shop right around the corner! The only trouble I had was drunken people’s loud conversations in the night - maybe because it was Friday. If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs just in case. Other than that, this place is very ideal for sightseeing in Florence.
