I travel to Florence relatively frequently for work and this is by far the best apartment I have rented. Compared to other apartments at similar cost, the space is beautiful and quite large. I also consider it to be in a good location. The center of Florence is crowded and busy, with most of the business catering to very short term visitors and extremely expensive. The neighborhood surrounding this apartment, on the other hand, is quiet, with a variety of shops and restaurants serving a largely local clientele. It is also a close walk (or a short journey on a high-frequency bus line) to the center and to the really special Cascine park. I cannot recommend this apartment enough.
