Beautifully renovated and decorated apartment in a near-perfect location in a residential area. Very clean, very convenient. You can walk to most Florence attractions, although we recommend, as does Irene, a cab when you first arrive with luggage; cobblestones are not easy on wheeled suitcases, and it's not terribly expensive to take a taxi. The apartment is newly renovated, in an ancient building, and the decorator chose to leave some exposed old brick as a highlight wall--brilliant, and a nice tie to the history. You will hear a bit of street noise--this is the middle of a city--but this is understandable and we will definitely try to reserve this Airbnb when returning to Florence. Recommended.
