Very convenient location to just about everything and just 2 blocks from one of the most beautiful churches in Florence- Santa Croce. Lots of restaurants around. Easy to find, about 20 minute walk from train station. There are Rick Steve guide books in apt which was convenient for us as we left ours in a taxi in another country. Host was very quick to respond when we had a couple of questions/issues. It was extremely hot when we were there and since he had a freezer we were able to put our water bottles in there. Only drawback was the pillows were hard and uncomfortable.
