We had a wonderful stay in the heart of Florence. As other reviewers have noted, street noise should not be overlooked as a possible concern when booking. The first night featured very loud groups as late as 4 am. We did appreciate the proximity of the apartment to many hotspots in Florence. Check-in was super easy and host provided extremely detailed instructions for remote check-in. The A/c didn’t seem to work great but not poorly enough that I felt the need to contact the host. The shower is also a bit small for our liking. We loved being able to walk so easily to the Duomo, Uffizi gallery and other top spots to visit. It’s a perfect spot to be your Florence headquarters for a few days of adventure.
