I will start with the positive: The location is absolutely perfect for walking around Florence. The living room view of the bridge and the river is amazing. In many ways the apartment is perfect, it is in a cute building right next to a gelato shop with shops and food and markets all around. For all these reasons I give the apartment 5 stars. Plus Tomaso was great to work with and easy and very prompt in returning text and emails.
The negative is that some of the very things that make it great are also detractors. There is a fair amount of noise right under the bedroom window as there are bars and restaurants 1 story below, car alarms go off, and the occasional ambulance drives by .To be fair, I am not sure you can ever get away from this in an urban location. I will say that for my preferences the beds are not comfortable and the towels and linens are of poor quality. Regardless, I think the place was great, I would stay there again even with the noise but I think next time I would prefer someplace with hotel quality beds and linens.
