That's the best choice to stay in Florence! We stayed for about a week and had a great time. Thanks to its location, 90% of important sites are really close. Also, right in the house where the apartment is situated, there is a very nice restaurant with REALLY fast pizza for takeaway (don't forget that you can order your pizzas with 50/50 different toppings), and a great cafe to have breakfast with a wide choice of panini, pastry and coffee, all of it suprisingly cheap. There is also a supermarket just across the street. The apartment itself was super cool, very bright, with lots of air and well furnished. Paintings and photos on the walls, designer furniture and books on the shelves create a warm and lively atmosphere. Some may worry that it's noisy in the center, but it's not. It gets quiet in the evening, and there are thick wooden window shutters that block out a lot of sounds and also all of the bright Florentian sun in the morning. Overall, I'm a very sensitive sleeper and I had no problems. Last but not least, Ciro is the best host! He gave us a very warm welcome, explaining even more than we could think of asking, wrote us emails with really LOTS of various information (from places to eat to museum ticket booking and historic sights just outside Florence), and map links, also fun stuff, so we never felt abandoned.

Overall, we had a great experience in Florence and a huge, huge part of it was thanks to Ciro and his apartment. Due to our interests in life and my future occupation we will surely visit Florence again, and the first thing we do is book this place.
