This apartment is centrally located and near all the tourist attractions. The apartment is very livable, spacious and comfortable. There is a well stocked kitchen, laundry and two bathrooms. The bedrooms are on each end of the apartment and have their own bathroom next to them. The main living area is really comfortable and each room has air conditioning. There were 4 of us and it was plenty of room for all without feeling the least bit cramped.
We used this apartment as our jump off point for trips to Chianti, Cinque Terra and Firenze in general. You have access to Firenze S. M. Novella, and close proximity to the main Bus lines. Access to the Duomo, Uffizi, Academia and other attractions are all easy walking distance. It is a great place for accessing all the surrounding areas, literally you can walk to about anything. The market is perfect as well for grabbing some produce, cheeses, honey meats etc...
We will say though that if you are planning on relaxing in the apartment during the day, you will be reminded of how central to the action you are. The leather goods section is literally your front door and out the side window. It can be a little loud. Claudia provided ear plugs to help with the noise. The Leather goods vendors don't really start setting up until 08:00, so if you are looking to get up and out early, this isn't an issue. They also wrap things up pretty early in the evening so from about 19:00 until 22:00 it's pretty quiet. After that, the night life begins and depending on whos having a good time that can last until after 00:00, but it's usually quiet after that. This didn't present a problem for us as we were typically out by 08:00 and home from dinner by 23:00 or so... and usually quite tired so noise wasn't a factor. One other gotcha can be the steps in the bathroom closest to the entry. A few of us got caught with missteps, nothing drastic, just be aware that there are a few steps there.
Overall, this is an outstanding apartment for visiting Firenze and all the surrounding beauty of the city. Just keep in mind, this is probably better used as a jump off point for your excursions rather than a "relax at the apartment" venue given it's central location. If you are looking for a place to provide a good clean space for exploring the area, this is a perfect choice.
