This apartment is like an Ikea store...in a good way. Clean, well-appointed, modern, comfortable. Maria has limited English but uses Google Translate well. :) She and her husband were extremely welcoming and helpful, especially with parking.
Rifredi is not the greatest neighborhood...a little run-down in places, and a fair amount of graffiti. But as others have noted, it’s a short walk to the train station and a 1-stop ride into Florence proper.
Important! When you get tickets from the machine, choose “Other destinations” and then type “Firenze S.M.N.” On the return trip: “Firenze Rifredi.” If you don’t type Firenze first, the system can’t locate either stop. 🙄
