If you are looking to be in the heart of all the action, this is the place. Although you are in the middle of everything the apartment is quiet, safe and lovely. But when you open the windows, wow there is florence in all its finest. It is not necessary to have a car, because , from the apartment you can easily walk to everything. It's perfect. Their were a few issues with some things, but the host sent someone immediately to fix anything that was out of order. Even though we didn't meet the host in person, she was quick to respond to all our needs. Florence is a beautiful city, and a shoppers paradise, and the most important thing were the people of Florence... They were amazing, oh yes and the food was amazing too! All in all. Fantastic !!!!
