My girlfriend and I traveled 3 days in London, 3 days in Paris and then called this spectacular apartment home for 8 days while we traveled throughout Italy. Just minutes away from the train station, it was easy for us to walk and hop on a 2 hour train to Cinque Terre, Venice and Rome. We also took a bus to Siena for the day and had a private driver tour us through Chianti. Our rest days were spent exploring Florence. If you are looking for location and the feel of a local stay in Florence-this place is a must.
Pros: location, location, location. Temperature (AC cools the place down in seconds), hot water for days (although we did not take very long showers). EATALY is right across the street, so you can grab some snacks and a bottle of wine conveniently (open from 10-10). The patio view of the Duomo will never get old. Renter supplies you with everything you need for your stay. We even borrowed the umbrella for our Siena trip since there was a chance of rain. The flat screen TV is new and I was able to hook my Chromecast up easily. Internet/WiFi is lightening fast. For the anal laundry folks reading this review, there is a washer; however, the European washers are much different (and take much longer) and there is no dryer so you must hang your clothes to dry. I preferred the same method I used when I studied abroad and went to the laundry mat around the corner. For 4 euros you have a clean set of clothes (cafe across the street you can hang at while you wait).
Cons: Standard Euro shower unit might be small for larger person.
