Artan's place has the perfect location in Florence. We were able to walk to most attractions as well as the train station. The apartment was spacious enough for 6 of us, with sufficient living room space as well. Check in was convenient even though they hadn't finished cleaning the apartment when we arrived. Since we were heading out anyway it wasn't an issue for us. There were a few minor issues - One of the bathrooms had a sewer type smell on the last day and the kitchen is quite small to do any extended cooking. We also had to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the apartment. Overall, would recommend as a base for groups sightseeing in Florence
