Great apartment, especially for its location. Right on Marcato Centrale, one of my favorite places in Florence, I loved staying there. The second floor of the inside market is sort of a high-end mall feel, but the ground floor is a marvelous collection of small groceries, bread, pasta, wine, meat, produce, and fish shops. (only open 7am-2pm though).

We were there in early June, so we could close the windows to lessen the street noise, which is significant. Restaurants right downstairs stay open late -- with lovely accordion bands playing -- and garbage trucks and clean up begins before 6am. So it might be hot to close windows in the heat of summer, but we loved the people-watching and liveliness.

The apartment photos were a bit brighter and tidy than the real thing, and the kitchen could use a bit of investment -- some matching dishes and silverwear, a few sharp knives, etc. overall, though, we had a great time and really enjoyed our time.
