It is a bit further out from the old town but only in this way can have a quite night here. The house is near bus station and night bus can always take you back. The walking distance is also enjoyable and only cost 20 mins. Washing machine is a plus for us coz we stay in Italy for 9 days. The owner is very nice and show us everything of the neighborhood and even mark down on the map. Florence is a wonderful place just look out for passing cars.
