The apartment was literally a few minutes walk from S.Maria Novella, and despite being a busy spot was very quiet, especially in the bedrooms & there were shutters on all the windows for added dark & quiet. Having 2 bathrooms was great with teen daughter & apartment was extremely roomy. Host met us promptly & first place ever with no Wifi dramas. The location was so central - a few minutes walk down the road to duomo, a few minutes turning left to S Lorenzo. Was perfect! There are a few flights of stairs with luggage, although the host helped get us up anyway. Glad we were so close to station as we had to run to catch the train!
