We stayed in this apartment for three weeks while in Florence for work. It was clean and conveniently located. The apartment faces the back garden and is very quiet. There are two grocery stores, many restaurants, and gelato shops nearby. Just downstairs there is a small fresh food store with vegetables, cheeses, bread, milk, etc... which is perfect for picking up a few things on your way home. It is located in a lovely neighborhood with many artisans working. It is a 10 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio and a 15 or 20 minute walk to all of the main attractions on the other side of the Arno River. It is a 10 minute walk to the train station. We were happy to be central but not in the crowded touristy part of the city. For a long stay, the house cleaner will come once a week for a small fee to change the linens and clean the apartment. There is a kitchen for cooking and the air conditioner, hot water, and internet all worked consistently well. I highly recommend this apartment for a short or long stay in Florence.
