The location is optimal for exploring Florence as it is directly next to the Ponte vecchio. Everything is in walking distance and there are lots of restaurants nearby. Parking is easy just across the road but very expensive (40 € up to 70€ per day depending on the type of car and duration of your stay and you need to enter ZTL). There is a supermarket across the street. The self check-in and communication with the host were easy. There is an elevator which is nice if you carry heavy luggage. The shower is indeed very small, but was okay for us. The furniture etc. could be improved as it is dated, so the value for money could be better. WLAN worked well and it was nice to have a dish washer and a washing machine. For a couple the space was enough, I would not recommend it for more than two people as the bedroom is not separated. Over all the apartment was okay as the balcony and central location made up for the worn fixtures and fittings but next time we will probably stay somewhere else.
