The Apartment location was amazing, right behind Duomo with everything in short walking distance and Santa Maria Novella station only a 10 minute walk. I loved the apartment, it was brand new and had everything you needed. Of course, since it is right in Florence center it is a little noisy at times in the evening when loud groups of people walk by, but I am a very light sleeper and had no problems sleeping. There are no traffic noises since there are very little cars allowed in the center of Florence. The host was very helpful and accommodating. I would stay there again anytime I am in Florence.
