We stayed in Irene's apartment for a whole month and it was perfect for us. The pictures are exactly what you get. Although small the apartment is very well equipped for most needs. The location is arguably the best in Florence, not more than 10 minutes walk to all the hustle and bustle, the Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio and also the Uffizi. The stazione Santa Maria Novella is only a 10 minute walk.
We felt very safe while we stayed here. There are many amazing restaurants on your doorstep as well as some bakeries and deli's and even a supermarket directly opposite.
We will come back!
