The location of the apartment was quite convenient, about a 15-20 min walk from the train station (SMN Firenze) across the Arno river. We didn't spend much time in the neighbourhood, but there were a few interesting things nearby (a lively-looking beer garden, some restaurants, and the historic city walls just down the street). Most of the sites in the historic city centre are easily walkable, particularly those on the same side of the river (Pitti Palace/Boboli gardens). The apartment itself was more spacious than expected, with a large bedroom, ensuite bathroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. It was more or less a fully equipped condo and would be a decent spot for longer stays. We had a great time here, and would definitely recommend to others.
