Loved the location and open nature of the apartment. It was great to open the windows and doors that lead out to the patio each evening, bringing in fresh air. You can reach the apartment from the train station in a 15 min walk and it is easy walking distance throughout the historic center of Firenze. Street noise is a definite issue with the trattoria and noisy students below (generally loud until about 2:00 am); however, having the bedroom at the back does help. Some things to note: The washing machine is in a small, dark outbuilding across the patio -- you might prefer to use one of the local laundromats. The kitchen is modern but poorly equipped for much more than making espresso with the moka pot. Just a very few, poor quality pots/pans, no pot holders, a single, dull paring knife. It was a struggle to properly slice the bread and lovely tomatoes we bought at the Sant'Ambrogio market! The apartment is quite dark with poor lighting throughout -- generally not too big of a deal, but a bit annoying in the bathroom. WIFI could be a bit spotty at times, but generally good. We did need to reboot the router following a heavy overnight rain. While we were grateful to be in a super location, we would encourage the host to put in just a bit more effort to make this an even better apartment.
