I'm a bit different from average traveller in that I've spent a lot of time in Florence and even knew this particular palazzo from before. It is a grand building, easy to spot and handsome in its design. To get to the apartment itself, one needs to go into court yard and set of locked doors and climb a couple of flights of stairs, an entry that many will appreciate, some might find a bit overbearing. I like the location very much since it's not smack in crowded center. so a slightly longer walk from Duomo etc., but quiet and still in walking distance. I never took public transportation within Florence the whole week I was there. At the same time it is very close to San Marco where many bus lines going out of town stop and which I sometimes need to use. Apartment itself perfect for one person (probably two ok). It's pleasant and quiet Served my needs very well. Equipped with needed kitchen equipment but when I arrived, I found no coffee/espresso maker/machine. Margherita had one on my doorstep within a few minutes though. In general, she was quick to respond and always helpful and the advantages to having actual proprietor of the flat be the one to contact (rather than a hired representative) became clear to me.
