This is an incredibly cool apartment in an really convenient location. The building has a long history as a convent going back hundreds of years. It has nice preserved ancient architectural details. It's right across from the central market which has great food. An easy walk to the Santa Maria Novelle train station and all the nearby Florence attractions / museums. The kitchen is quite functional, the washer works well with space to hang your clothes to dry on the patio. The back bedroom is quiet and comfortable. The secondary front bedroom is the only drawback. It is noisy due to the street market below, which can be overcome with some earplugs. However the mattress should be replaced very soon. This apartment overall really made our stay in Florence stress free and enjoyable.
