Shrika's apartment was wonderful! The location of the apartment is just right to see virtually everything and is very close to the station which helped us to get around the city. Duomo complex was only about 7 min walk and Santa Maria Novella was 5 min walk. Shrika is a great hostess. We were delayed coming from Pisa significantly but she was very nice and waited for us for all that time. A parking garage is 50m down the street, close enough for us to bring back and forth our luggage.
