My sister and I chose this location because it was close to her school (she's studying abroad for the semester), and it also happened to be in a wonderful location for Florence in general. Santa Croce is right next door, with a 5-10 minute walk to the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio. There were delicious restaurants close by as well. The apartment was well stocked with everything you'd need for cooking a meal, along with a bathtub & shower, comfortable bed, and couch/living room. Ilaria was quick to respond anytime we needed help with Florence or had questions about the apartment. The only drawback is the climb up the stairs (3 flights, but they wind back and forth so it feels like more!). That being said, I lugged my HUGE luggage up and down and was fine. I highly recommend this beautiful place!
