You cannot beat this location for its proximity to the Central Market! The gated community is beautiful and right outside you will find places to buy food, wine, souvenirs! The noise is an issue that I knew about but did not expect to keep hearing it on one night until 12:30 a.m. - with the windows closed. This is beyond the owner's control and I understand. The other two nights we were fine. I didn't appreciate the hairs in the shower or the downstairs door left open and a Swiffer mop left on the stairwell. That was upsetting. But overall we felt safe. Upon arrival we were met by Viola and that was very nice. She gave us the keys and explained some things about the unit and also provided a little history about the Ponte Vecchio (bridge) and that was appreciated! Overall we had a wonderful visit to Florence - just not long enough!
