Amazing place, sweet hosts, highly recommended. Very clean and well-furnished apartment but what makes it stand out is the lovely patio and the private garden. Perfect for sunbathing on a deck chair or relaxing in the shade. As for the location, it is about 20 minutes on foot from Santa Maria Novella but several buses stop just outside the apartment. There is a nice park, ten minutes away where you can rent bikes and even go to the pool.
