This apartment is awesome. The location just can't be beat. We stayed here for 4 nights and treated it as a hub to see Florence and the surrounding areas. Train station is 5min away, so it was easy to take day trips and not have to walk forever and a day on our way back. Apartment is less than 15 minutes to the city center and is pretty much within walking distance to everything. Shower is great and building felt really secure. No issues what so ever. Barbara was great on explaining how everything worked and sharing her house rules. She even checked in on us mid stay to make sure we knew how to operate the heat if needed.
