This is a lovely apartment in an amazing location in Florence. It's a very short walk to all of the main historical attractions of the city, but also in a more 'local' part of town which is quiet in the evening and the restaurants offer slightly better value.

The apartment was easy to find and in the end we just walked here from the train station (about 15 minutes) because that worked out to be quicker than driving given the daytime traffic in Florence.

Francesca was very easy to communicate with and the apartment manual you receive after booking is very useful.

The kitchen is great and well stocked with tea, coffee, sugar, salt, oil etc, so you can prepare food with ease. Fast wifi; nice outdoor space.

The only downsides are the neighbours downstairs can be a bit vocal, sometimes quite early in the morning. If you're planning to lie in you might want to consider taking earplugs.

Also if you want use of the air-conditioning in the apartment this has to be arranged for an extra charge which is payable after booking. I don't think it says anywhere how much this charge is. We stayed in early June and it started to get a bit stuffy and warm for us in the main bedroom, air-con would have been handy (we're from western Australia and live in an un-airconditioned house, so we have quite a high threshold for bedroom temperatures!)
