The apartment was fully as described ... even better in fact !!

Eugenio, who met us was very helpful in orientating us. Spoke pretty good English.

Regarding the location, basically right on Via Gioberti which has a fair few cafes and LOADS of clothes stores.

While everything was perfect in regards to the apartment, I do feel that it was just a bit too far out. THIS WAS TOTALLY OUR ISSUE AS IT IS MENTIONED IN THE DESCRIPTION.

It's about a 25 min walk to the Duomo (around 2k's) ... longer obviously if you are further away from the Duomo. We knew this from the apartment description before hand but should have paid more attention and thought about it more before committing to the apartment. This was too far out we both felt after spending 6 days in Florence. After walking around all day many times we tried too get a cab home however in Florence you just can't hail cabs off the street you need to be at a designated cab rank ... most of the time there were no cabs or else cabs with no drivers in them (off eating we were told) so we ended up walking all the way home ... sometimes from 30-40 mins away. After a few days of this it became tedious and we had wished we stayed closer.

So, in summary, we wouldn't stay here again but not because of the apartment itself. We wouldn't stay here again because we felt it was too far away from the action. This is our opinion ... others may not care but something to keep in mind :)

Cheers.
