We loved this apartment! Maria was a great host: quick, easy communication and very helpful with the check-in. The space was spacious, comfortable, and clean - just as described. Location for us was perfect - steps to Piazza della Republica and the Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore. This is a very vibrant center of the city, so the streets can be quite active into the night. But we happily traded the location for the little extra noise. This is the perfect place from which to base your visit to Florence!
