I loved this place! My first impression was that I wanted to buy the apartment. It is a cozy little monk cave, right next door to Michelangelo's piazza. I was on a trip to 1) take an Italian language course, and 2) finish up my semesters work for my MA program. This was a perfect place to work, sleep, study, and launch out into town. The neighborhood, San Niccolò is really quaint. Some great little restaurants, bars, and Enotecas. It is a short walk across the Arno before you are in the heart of Florence.
If you are a seasoned, solo traveler, I would highly recommend this place.
If you are a couple, and accustomed to world travel, I would recommend it.
If you travel like a Westerner (lugging all your possessions with you in multiple suitcases, AND paying lots of money for hotels with all the comforts of home), then skip this awesome little flat, it's not for you.
