Check in was very convenient and easy. We had a car and parked in one of 2 public garages near the apartment, picked up the key from a lockbox after the host sent a code and we let ourselves in. The apartment is a studio, so there isn't a ton of extra space; the kitchen is small and spartan, but has a table that folds into the wall with 2 chairs. It is in a great location (although other apartments in the building have the bridge view) minutes from Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, Uffizi, Pitti Palace, Palazzo Vecchio, etc. The restaurant below (Golden View) is excellent, make a reservation to get a table to view the Arno and Ponte Vecchio.
