The penthouse was perfect for our stay in Florence! We were slightly concerned about the proximity to the train station resulting in too much noise, but that was never an issue. There was occasional street noise from street sweepers, buses and such, but being on what we would call the 7th floor it was not a problem, and some noise must be expected in a bustling city.
With grocery stores, cafes, pastry shops, and good restaurants within a block or two, it was easy to stay deliciously nourished. Florence is such a walkable city that we were never too far from our destination. We used the bus only to get to Piazzale Michelangelo.

In addition to being close to the train station, the apartment is only 2 1/2 blocks from the very helpful tourist information center.
Gloria’s assistant, Viola, was a perfect guide in welcoming us and explaining various details regarding the apartment. Her use of English was very good and important to us.
All was in working order and just as described.
And of course the views from the terrace were wonderful in the ever changing light of beautiful Florence.
Grazie!
