First of all Florence is absolutely magestic and everything you read about and see in movies. The apartment is located in a great area where you can walk to restaurants, bars and since Uber is not available my husband and I chose to do plenty of walking instead of calling taxi service. The walk to the train station is about 20 minutes but if you request a taxi service due to luggage they will be available and punctual as long as you book ahead. I loved the apartment it’s so rustic and it’s quiet but I must warn you... in Italy 3rd floor actually means fourth and old world towns like Florence do not have what we take for granted here... elevators. We carried 50 pound suite cases 50 steps to get to the room. Of course that’s not something that could be used as a negative since buildings are not restored it’s just an FYI. We loved the neighborhood surrounding the apartment and we loved the picturesque views and we came home to am extremely comfortable bed every night and slept like babies. I do have one negative thing to comment on that caused me great anxiety. We had spent one week in Rome prior to arriving in Florence meaning we needed to wash clothes only to find out that it was broken. There was a laundry mat place about 6 minutes away and we spent an additional 20 Euros washing and walking back with laundry. Other than that I highly recommend this apartment and would definitely book again.
