Location was near everything. Apartment was exactly as in the photos. It was noisy sleeping at night but that's expected in that area. You could walk to most places, I'd rather have that than a quieter place. Our only issue was check-in. Be sure to confirm check-in instructions as we had a problem getting in. Also, we never actually met Massimo. He sent other people to check us in. That was a bit unsettling. But overall, we had a great time in Florence.
