The apartment is only about a 10 minute walk from the main train station. One can also reach most of Florence's sights easily by foot. What we enjoyed a lot is the close proximity to the big market (Mercato di San Lorenzo) where you can buy a lot fresh food but also eat well at the restaurants. The apartment has a sufficient facilities to cook your own meals and it is definitely large enough to stay there with four persons. I would definitely recommend this place for a stay in Florence.
