The apartment is about 20 minute walk from the mercato centrale, so if you don't mind a bit of extra walking then this is a fantastic value room, especially considering how nice it is! On one day we managed to walk 20km throughout the day, so the walk back to the apartment did feel quite laborious, especially in the 35 degree heat, but the air conditioning in the room made up for that. I would highly recommend staying here if you are young, and want to see Florence without paying through the nose for an expensive hotel.
