I stayed in this apartment for about 3 months. It is ideally located between the vibrant St. Croce/St. Ambrogio district and all the touristy sites of Florence. As such, it is not only a nice place for a short weekend trip as a tourist but also for longer stays. Especially the Mercato St. Ambrogio is only 5 min away. The immediate neighbourhood is also very nice: café Vivoli (for me the best gelato in Florence) is right next door. Elisabetta and Claudia were perfect hosts and always replied immediately if I had any kind of query. The only minor point is that a heavy smoker lives next door and sometimes the smell comes into the apartment. In any case, I would highly recommend the place.
