The view from the flat is very beautiful. The A/C worked okay (it was a very hot few days so I understand that the A/C was working overtime). Unfortunately the washer in the unit had mold in it so we weren't comfortable using that. The flat itself is very quaint and the views are very picturesque. It is a nice quiet area outside the city center and not too far of a walk (15-20 minutes) to main tourist area. We didn't use any form of transit in Florence except to get to and from the airport, the walk ability of this location is great.
