Whilst the flat is a 25 minute walk out side of Florence (and we were here during the 40 degree heatwave) the flat is in a quiet area with a spectacular gelataria two minutes down the road. It is very large and has great air conditioning which we really appreciated! Andrea sends very good info for how to access the flat which is really easy to follow. And the flat is so secure! We were a bit concerned as there was no safe but this flat is probably the most secure place we have ever stayed. We would recommend it to anyone.
