The location of this apartment was fantastic! Located in the Central Market made it very easy to find food when we didn't want to travel far or look for it. Surprisingly with all that the market has to offer noise was never an issue during our stay. This is also within walking distance of anything you could want to see or do within downtown Florence. The only thing that you should be aware of is that this apartment is located up about 3-4 flights of stairs so either pack light or be aware that you will need to carry your luggage up these stairs to get to the apartment. It wasn't an issue for my wife and I but it could be for future guests.
