The apartment in located slightly off centre, behind the railway station, if you look at the map, from which it's about 15 minutes walking. The neighbourhood is amazingly quaint, with a nearby piazza as a centre of local life: small shops (butcher's, fishmonger's, baker's) and fruit stalls open in the morning, and bars and pubs are frequented by the local crowd.
The apartment itself has a separate entrance, so you won't be bothered by other guests/people living in the same building. It has everything you may possibly need, great Wi-Fi connection, fully equipped kitchen, and is a generally very well-designed and pleasant space. Two balconies are a nice addition. The ladies who rent the apartment out are extremely sweet and helpful, and really care for the needs of their guests. I especially want to thank Susanna for being online all the time to ask us if we needed anything or if there was something she could help us with.
This apartment will be perfect for a group of friends in their mid-30s travelling together, or to a couple of the same age. Maybe not so cool for a person who doesn't travel much - because they might want to be closer to all the attractions, but if you want a place to escape from the mad crowds of the Florence central streets and experience local life, this apartments is just for you.
The place is clean and spacious, and, really, everything you could hope for.
