The apartment is very nice and completely quiet at night, a short walk from the train station, the central market, the galleries of Accademia and the cathedral. Our host met us as soon as we got to Florence and provided a wealth of information about good places to eat and grocery shop, despite our trip being really a last-minute arrangement. Quite a steep walk up, for those who are allergic to steps. I am used to walk-ups so it did not bother me at all.

Overall, very nice experience.
