Great apartment! Clean, comfortable, and central to what you want to do in Florence. I worked with Rita, and she is wonderful to work with. The 'street' the apartment is located on is part of a wide courtyard, and the front door is between a Bar & Grill and a Chinese restaurant. Might sound as if that would be too noisy, but it's not, and I had no trouble getting a good nights sleep. The kitchen is fine, I cooked a large dinner for 5 people with no issues. I would rent this apartment again.
