The apartment was gorgeous. Lots of open space, beautiful backyard view of the garden, and very modern for the area. It is definitely a quiet town, but the bus is very close and you can get into the center of the city in less than 10 minutes. Once you are in the center of the city you HAVE to walk to Piazzale Michelangelo- it is a breathtaking view of the city during sunset(it is an uphill walk so wear comfortable sneakers!) Side note, the house rules are a bit much- you have to leave everything perfectly cleaned (which goes unsaid) but also pay a cleaning fee of 40 euro for the cleaning lady they hired which confused us. Other than that, i loved Florence and I will definitely be back !
