Michele’s place is very spacious. It caters well to a younger crowd. No fault to the owners but there is a bar that shares the building and occupies the basement. They have live music at night that goes until at least 11:30. Saying that, they had great drinks and good food (pizza).
The convenience of having a super market next door was great! We cooked our own breakfasts and were able to make sandwiches for lunch.
It is close to public transport. I would not recommend having a car in Florence as there are limited parking spaces. There are parking spots outside of the apartment but you are either boxed in or had to pay. Embrace the public transport, it is very close.
