This is an excellent place to stay in Florence. It's quick and easy to get to the centre of the city (6 stops on the tram, or about 15 minutes, including walking time from the apartment) to the central station. What you gain by being not in the centre itself is a peaceful night, and that's worth quite a lot to me! The apartment is large, wifi works well, the kitchen was very well furnished, and the beds were comfortable. The whole place was very clean. We never met Monia, but she gave clear instructions for getting the key, and was unfailingly responsive.
