Honestly, it would be tough to find a better location to stay in Florence! Although there is a lot going on in the neighborhood with bars and restaurants, the apartment itself was very quiet. The space is quite large with plenty of natural light from the many windows. Irene provided plenty of extra sheets and blankets if needed, and the laundry came in handy as this was the second to last stop on our trip. The AC also worked amazingly. I think due to the age of the building and the hot weather, the apartment did get a little stale with all of the windows closed, so I would recommend to open the windows for some airflow when home. Overall, a great spot for my two friends and I - so close to great restaurants and shops and just a ten minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio.
