Previously, I had lived in Florence for four months and I wanted to visit again. The apartment is in the perfect location for seeing Florence. There's also an elevator, which is a plus for people who don't want to walk up all the flights of stairs. My only caution is that it is right next to an Irish pub, and we stayed in Florence for St. Patrick's Day so it was really, really loud that night. Otherwise, this is a perfect place to stay for a trip to Florence.
