The apartment is in a great location walking distance to all the museums, restaurants and shopping. Walking allows you to experience the local neighborhoods. The plaza is active at night but the apartment is still quiet with the bedroom in the back. So many restaurants to choose from try the ones outside the tourist area did not find a bad one. Beware there is a lot of road construction around the train station but had no problems getting a taxi to our apartment. Everyone was very friendly and helpful in Florence. Would return to Florence and Gibby apartment.
