The location of Barbara's apartment is perfect for sightseeing in Florence! We loved being such a short walk to so many of the sights. And while the bed is a fold out couch, we found it to be quite comfortable - a little squeaky, but it's hard to find a fold out couch that isn't! Overall, we found the apartment perfect for our visit since we were out and about all day and were much more interested in staying close to the sights and not spending a ton of money to do so. Also, Barbara was incredibly helpful and very responsive. Not only did she respond quickly regarding questions about check in or about the apartment, but she was also very helpful when we asked for recommendations for wine shops and markets. We really appreciated her input and highly recommend Barbara's apartment!
