You are smack dab in the center of Florence, which means that you can just type, or say, "Cappelle Medicee" into your phone to get home at night instead of trying to remember a difficult address. It also means that the apartment is conveniently located so that you can stop 'home' quickly, to drop off bags, drink some water, take a quick nap, etc. It was very private, but also nice to know that Cosimo and Alberta were nearby in case I needed anything (I did not, but still liked the security). Everything was very clear cut and straightforward, and there was an elevator too! No lugging bags up endless European staircases! Absolutely no complaints--a quality place.
