Wonderful place to stay in Florence - a little bit away from the hectic tourist heart of the city but still an easy walk to the sites and the Arno. It's also really close to rental car places which we didn't realize until we went to pick up the car to leave Florence. Apartment is spacious and has a lovely little kitchen and small grocery stores nearby. Plus you're right across the street from the Polizia so it feels very safe (and no noise except church bells :).
