Checking in was no problem thanks to a neighbour Jan. Great apartment, nicely decorated, very central. Unfortunately we hit Florence in a heat wave and it was sooo hot. We could have done with some air conditioning, but aside from that it was a lovely apartment. It had everything we needed. Quite a noisy area though, lots of traffic, bin lorries, passerbys until about 12 at night, but wouldnt be so bad if you were out most nights...we had 2 children, but they got used to it!
