Rossella is a very thoughtful, friendly host and a great communicator. In advance of our arrival date, she already opened a line of communication, and provided wonderfully detailed written instructions, map, and pictures of exactly how to find our place. The apartment is very close to the train station, less than 5 minute walk, which was helpful for us as we not only arrived and departed Florence by train, but also used it as our base to day trip by train. You can walk to all the "usual" and famous attractions within a few and up to about 20 minutes to get to the river. Close to urban supermarkets and an open market for food and any necessities. Both front and back of the apartment face inner courtyards, so the place is amazingly quiet -- you would never know that you are right in the middle of a busy city. Layout is small but efficient -- for example the two fold out single beds are in the main shared and eating area. Not a problem, and the listing is accurate. In our the case and opinion what you give up in extra space is well worth the wonderful place and location.
