The apartment itself is pretty dark and air can be a bit stale, but it’s really all about the location. As many other reviews say, it’s the perfect mix of being in walking distance to everything but not touristy. Only caution would be if you are not a fan of cigarette smoke/smell, although the apartment itself didn’t smell the smell of others smoking in the building/on their porches was apparent whenever the windows were open. For what we paid and the location it served as a good home base to explore Florence!
