This apartment is just a mile away from SMN station and costs about £10 by taxi. This apartment would have been hard to find without someone helping us checkin. If you are new to Italy and Florence plan to have Michel (property manager) be there for checkin else you will be shocked, it is worth extra £s for helping checkin. Stairs to the apartment are very steep and there are about 30 steps, no elevator. If you have difficulty climbing up stairs or you have heavy luggage you need to factor in additional help from Michel. Apartment is at the heart of Florence and very close to all attractions, can’t ask for such a close location at the heart of Florence. Just walk 100 meters from the apartment you are already in the center of all attractions and you are in a vibrant location. Location is the best. Apartment is not exceptional but nothing negative to say about inside and it is ok. We did not get hot water because of technical problem and it took several times to get it fixed, first day of our stay we had to live without hot water. Generally stay was good, accuracy of information would have helped to avoid surprises. Needless to say Michel was nice and was very helpful(Thanks to Michel).
