I was made to feel very welcome. It was easy to find also from the train station, about a 20 minute walk. The apartment is funky and adequate for one person. I was there for 6 weeks and whilst I did not spend a lot of time in it, found that 4 weeks was probably my limit without a kitchen. It is fair value for the price however. The district is very close to a very popular restaurant piazza. Convenient but also extremely noisy on the weekend, which drove me nuts. Really not sure why Italian men have to shout at the top of their voices in the street at night? If you are a light sleeper - not good! Week nights were quiet in comparison. Location is close to the Ponte Vecchio and therefore other tourist attractions such as the Pitti Palace. Lots of good eating establishments.
