The location of the apartment is great - 2 minutes walk from Piazza di Santa Croce and <10 minutes from Piazza della Signoria and the Duomo. The building and the apartment are as lovely as the pictures suggest and Roberta was very helpful and charming. Be aware that the two bedrooms are separated by a connecting sliding door and so there is a little bit of co-ordination required if you are using both rooms. The area is very lively in the evening, which is great, and there is no problem with noise from the streets.
