The apartment was in a wonderful location, in a small busy street but the apartment itself is very quiet. It is close to the Central Market (wonderful fish!), and the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is at the bottom of the street. The Uffizi Gallery not far either, 15-20 mins walk. Wonderful Italian restaurant and pub next door and great Asian restaurants along the street. The apartment itself is a bit quirky with some unusual features. My wife and daughter loved it. We had some problems on arrival with the freezer and TV but one phone call and an engineer and cleaner were there within 20 minutes, excellent service.
The only downside really is that you have to go to the office first to collect the keys and any paperwork. Not far away but when you are tired after travelling, I would prefer to go straight to the apartment to meet the host there.
