The location is amazing. You do not need to take the bus nor taxi anywhere as everything is extremely close. The only problems we encountered were that the light kept going/rolling out, the space heaters were not enough for the coldness of the apartment, but Egert was extremely gracious and even offered to let us stay an extra night, on him, for the inconveniences. Please do not let this discourage you from renting from him. This is a perfectly amazing location for a couple of nights stays in Florence.
