It's incredibly central within walking distance of most sights of interest. In hot weather it was lovely to get away from the sun and keep cool in the apartment. The garden is a lovely place to sit and eat with the family in the evenings, or relax from a long tourist day with the family in the living room with the tv that has connections to attach to your own laptop/movies. Had all helpful amenities for a family with young children although note it has a shower, but comes off the wall to help wash young children. Cristina is a wonderful host and when we were delayed some hours with our train from Pisa she waited, communicated well throughout and was such a friendly face on arrival.
