A beautiful apartment in a wonderful location ... large comfortable beds and great air conditioning . However no lift/ elevator so not suitable for those who struggle with stairs. Also not suitable for large family cars as roads so narrow and in a restricted traffic zone so actually probably best to not have a car at all in our opinion! If you need a hire car to travel around then you can have one there but have to park in a specific parking are for €30 per day and then they will tell police not to fine you for entering restricted zone . In hindsight I would have probably either not taken a car or hired somewhere out of town where parking would have been easier .
Having said all that the area was fabulous and we could walk to every sight in Florence so if just wanting to explore Florence then come without a car for sure! We used the car to explore Pisa, Lucca, Greve, Siena, San gimignano and the beautiful Tuscan countryside
