This apartment is truly in the heart of old Florence. We were able to walk to everything including the Duomo, Academia, Uffizi, and both train stations. Ilaria texted us check in instructions which were easy to follow, and she was very responsive to every email/text we sent.
The apartment is well-equipped for cooking and has a great bathroom. The ceilings are much higher than the look in the photos. The place feels very big. A grocery store is a few blocks away. There is street noise at night from the restaurants, but the wooden shutters block out quite a bit but not all of the noise. This is a true walk-up with lots of steps so plan your days accordingly. Would definitely stay again.
