This is a great place. Paolo met us at check in and provided some great advice to make the stay even better. The building is 400 years old, but the apartment has been well maintained and updated appropriately; nice new bath and shower, kitchen, etc. The apartment has a great location, close to Santa Maria Novella and the train station, and within a short walk of everything you will want to visit. Nice restaurant right across the street. This is a great place.
