The apartment was clean and really spacious for our family of 4. The kitchen was well stocked but without a microwave oven. The location was great; close to the train station as well as the Duomo, museums and restaurants. There's also a good sized market nearby. There's a bar on the ground floor, right next to the apartment building so expect some noise even to the wee hours of the night. There was a raucous group of young people one night who were hanging out until past midnight. It is the charm of the city, but take ear plugs if you are sensitive to the noise. It certainly helped us. The only thing was that I had underestimated the summer heat and humidity of Florence and booked this property even though it didn't have air conditioning. We were suffering the first day so I wrote to Bianca if she can provide a couple of fans. She graciously had her brother deliver two brand new fans the next day. He lugged them up four flight of stairs and practically saved us from misery for the next few days. Overall it was a good stay.
