We were hosted by Giovanni when we arrived. Check-in was a breeze even though we arrived 30mins earlier then check-in time.
Location is about a 10min walk from the S.M.N Station and its easily locatable by Google maps. Only about 5 mins away from the Duomo but apartment is off the crowded areas so you can be assured that the place is quiet and good for a good nights rest. There is food all around the moment you step up of the apartment and beside the main mercantile market so wake up early and get fresh produce if your in the mood to cook as the apartment is fully equipped for cooking!
Apartment is clean, spacious and stylishly designed, definitely recommended for a stay if you are in Florence!
