It's a great place to stay. The apartment it's situated at the 2nd floor in an historic building and in front of the building there is a lively square where you can sit on benches and have a glass of wine. It's very noisy indeed, but Giancarlo provided us with earplugs, so it was ok to sleep. The surroundings look like in an opera play. The apartment is a bit smaller than in the pictures, but it's clean and very well situated (14 minutes from the train station, 5 minutes to Ponte Vecchio, 10 minutes to the Uffizi Galleries - walking). I would come back anytime!
