While we could walk to almost everything we wanted to visit within 10-15 minutes it was not as nice as the photos and description led us to believe. We were met at the door my Giulio's cousin who gave us a brief description of the apartment, which is really a studio with a (nice) terrace. The pictures on the internet make it seem much larger than it really is, so if you need the extra space to spread out this could be a problem. We found that the fridge didn't shut all that well and the stove didn't function, so if you're looking to use those it might be a small problem. The terrace is a nice touch (it's where the laundry is), so we sat out there in the early morning and at night, otherwise it was too hot. It suited us just fine for our visit, but would likely stay another place for our next trip to Florence.
