This apartment is spacious, the kitchen is well equipped and the location is wonderful if you want to walk to see all of the sights of old Florence, and you can walk to the railroad station, the wonderful Central Market (Mercato de San Lorenzo). The views from the apartment are spectacular. Because of the location, it's not quiet at night. This is the square (piazza) where everyone gathers and people dine outdoors. It's a tradeoff. A quieter neighborhood means much longer walks to the sights of Florence, shopping and most of the restaurants. We've done both, so we know. We loved our stay In this apartment.
