The apartment was very close to all the major sights, particularly the Palazzo Vecchio and Uffizzi Gallery which are just in front of you when you leave the building. Despite being central and above a restaurant we were never bothered by noise. The restaurant staff were helpful - ordering an airport taxi for us and making us a free coffee while we waited. The apartment was very clean, the bed was comfy and the bathroom fine. Since we stayed for a week, Soraya organised a mid-week cleaner which was appreciated. Would definitely recommend.
