This location is very convenient for anyone arriving into Santa Maria Novella train station as it’s literally across the street, but the apartment is on the back side of the building so it is still very quiet inside. You are about a 10 minute walk to the Duomo and other sights, so overall the location was good. The apartment itself was clean and perfect for what we needed. We also accidentally locked ourselves out, and Donatella was quick to respond and her husband let us back into the apartment 15 minutes later. Overall, a great stay in Florence!
