Barbara’s place is perfectly situated close to everything! The apartment is also very spacious and has everything you need. If you’re a light sleeper, the front bedroom is right next to the street so you will hear people walking/driving by. Nothing unusual about being in the city but just a heads up. If you’re looking for something more tranquil and quiet, probably not a good idea to stay in the epicenter of Florence. Again, this place was perfect. Highly recommend!
