This apartment is as beautiful as the pictures appear. There is a pretty view of local buildings, and the mountains can be seen in the distance. Walking to Il Duomo and other locations was easy - it was wonderful to take in the sites and be able to get to the apartment relatively quickly. It was a short walk to the train station, so day trips out of Florence were easy. Due to the extreme heat of the summer, we were VERY grateful for the central air-conditioning. I would recommend this apartment!
