The location is excellent, a block from Piazza della Signoria. We were two couples so the two en-suite bedrooms, on opposite sides of the apartment, worked great for us. The one in the back was delightfully quiet, warrantying a restful sleep; the one in front wasn't as quiet but nothing too bothersome. Both bathrooms had showers, one of them pretty roomy for European standards. There was an elevator in the building, a luxury in downtown Florence, tiny but very convenient when carrying luggage. Only drawback was that there was not a drip or keurig or nespresso type coffemaker, just the old-fashioned 'bring-to-boil' cooktop type (thankfully my Spaniard cousin knew how to use it!). Cristina, the hostess, was excellent communicating at all times (specially when we missed our overseas flight and arrived the following day); she smoothly welcomed the other couple (my cousin and her hubby, that due to our travel woes arrived before us) and despite their language barrier Cristina managed to settle them. They had nothing but compliments about Cristina's reception.
