This place was a great place to stay in Florence. It was right by a leather market and tons of leather shops. It was an easy walk to the cathedral as well as other Florence sites. It is surrounded by tons of restaurants and a supermarket right next door. The proximity to the train station (Santa Maria Novella) is a huge plus if you are traveling by train. The apartment is fairly large with a big kitchen and big refrigerator. It was spotlessly clean and very well decorated. My sister and I slept in the loft which was very comfortable, though the stairs getting up to it are narrow (but easily doable). My parents were very comfortable in the queen sized bed. Our host offered really good dinner suggestions- Cipolla Rossa was our favorite! We hope to come back!
