First of all Victoria was a great host, she took the time to inform us of all the sites, shopping and best way to get around the city. The apartment is located is the best area in Florence, directly across the street from the central market....fresh produce, meat, seafood, bread and some great nightlife! The apartment was cleaned, well supplied and secure. From the apartment you are literally within walking distance to everything! One bit of information I would give to anyone looking to stay in the apartment is after 9pm for about 2 hours the city workers are cleaning up the square, emptying the garbage, cleaning the streets and then the added noise of the areas night life is starting to stir up. Simply solution....close the windows, it cuts most of the noise for a great nights sleep. I highly recommend Victoria's apartment to anyone looking to stay in Florence!
