Location, location, location! We felt so lucky to be staying in the most advantageous area of Florence. Everything was close by and easy to get to from this apartment. The place itself is much bigger than we expected and was more than ample for my family of 6. We also enjoyed having access to the washer/dryer. The host left us some treats to start our stay and was very accessible both before and during our visit. The only issue is that there is a lot of noise from the street which makes it difficult at night if you are a light sleeper. I guess that is a negative of being in such a great, centric location.
