The apartment is very cute, perfect for a couple, and well located. It is in a calmer, less touristic area, but closer to many restaurants and bars open at night. Yet it's only ten minutes by feet to the old city centre. The only possible improvement would be to have air conditioning. We came during a heat wave when the temperature reached 39°C during the day. Fortunately the apartment has big windows that bring a lot of fresh air by night and Lucia provided us a good ventilator so we did not suffer of the heat. But if you are with sick or old people, consider a place with air conditioning, or rather consider not visiting Florence in August. All around I still recommend warmly the place. Lucia was very helpful, provided everything we needed and gave us good addresses of things in town.
