Laura's apartment was in a great spot. We walked absolutely everywhere and the Duomo was a short 5-10 min walk. It had everything we needed, was really clean, great pillows, great kitchen. Laura was really nice and very accommodating of our very late arrival in Florence. She also left coffee and other hot beverages for us, and a bottle of wine upon arrival, which was wonderful! There's a supermarket 100m away and a pastry shop across the street with wonderful croissants. The only thing I'll point out has nothing to do with Laura's apartment in particular, as I'm sure this is a common issue in Florence - if you have ear plugs, bring them. In the early morning the noise of the cars and scooters is really loud. The buildings are old, tall, and the streets are narrow, so it echoes quite a bit.
