Laura & Guilia's apartment was a great space to explore Florence due to the proximity of major sights (The Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio), and the Train Station. This "old" apartment has been beautifully renovated and updated, but still provides the charm of an Italian apartment. The noise-blocking windows listed in the other reviews were definitely helpful in blocking outside noises, but there were still sometimes footstep noises from other apartment building residents above. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and greatly appreciated the hospitality of Laura & Guilia!
