A great location just a few minutes from the train station allows you to see the city with a short walk and other cities with a short train ride. Check in was confusing as florence streets have both blue and red numbers. Google maps will take you to the business address on the same street (red number), you want the blue number for the residence. The apartment is nice and newly remodeled. Small, but plenty of room for 2-4 guests. The bed is noisy if there is any movement. Overall a solid stay, Florence has a lot to offer and Elena was a good host! Although we did not meet her she always responded fairly quickly.
