We stayed at Sharika's apartment for 6 days. It's exactly the same as description and I believe there's no better location in Firenze. The train station is only 5 minutes walk from the flat, and you can easily walk to almost every historical site from the flat. Actually we only used the public transportation for the Piazza Michelangelo. As for the flat itself, you can find almost everything you need on a trip in it, and there're several nice restaurant and a supermarket just around the corner. People always mentioned the noise on street but we thought it was okay-you can easily fall in asleep when you did a lot of walking during the daytime.
