Great apartment. Salvatore met us and provided a warm and very helpful check-in. The apartment is large, the bedrooms are large, and the open area with the table was nice so that my family could get together in one room. Shops, restaurants and bars all right there within 50-100 meters and only a few minutes to the Uffizi, Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and up to the Mercato Centrale. Even the local bus and the Hop-on, Hop-off bus stops were only 50 meters away. The amenities all worked well, including the air conditioners. This apartment is very cost-effective, centrally located solution for staying in Florence.
Noise can be an issue. On our first night, a big argument began just below our bedroom window at 4:30 AM. There were several times when noisy motorcycles were run up and down the roads on both sides of the apartment building. Loud talking and singing kept us awake on other nights. Unfortunately, we had not considered the impact of so many tourists conveying on Florence in July and August. If you are light sleepers, we recommend you outside of the Centro or simply avoid visits in July or August. Our last visit was in October a couple of years ago and there were no tourist or noise issues.
In Summary, Salvatore hosts a great apartment with lots of room, good amenities and perfect location. If you are a light sleeper, we'd recommend you consider visiting other than summer holiday time or look outside of the Centro. Otherwise, this is an extremely high value for the cost location.
