The photos are accurate - the flat was generally clean and in order. The only downside is the shared bathroom though this is truthfully declared in the listing. The area though not located smack in the middle of the city center provides a nice and safe escape from the deluge of tourists - trust when you read reviews / guides about Florence that everything is 20 mins from each other. Conveniences of the location include having groceries close by (in front of the flat and along the way), a cosmetics shop, and reliable leather goods stores close by. Aida, the hostess, was very gracious and practical in providing recommendations on where to go, how to get around, and where to eat. She definitely goes above and beyond your typical host. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to friends who would visit Florence.
