This apartment was larger then I thought. The location is great and overlooks the market place. There is noise but being on the top floor it was not too bad. I enjoyed hearing the music, or people out and about during the night. It was not loud enough to keep me awake, but I did shut the windows. This place does not have a lift so if you have trouble with your luggage going up to top floor which I can't remember but probably 4th floor, it may not be for you. I loved how the location felt more local and is walking distance to everything. We walked with our luggage from the train station, walked all over the main attractions of Florence easily. The only thing that was missing on a summer night was air conditioning. Carlotta did have 2 small fans which were helpful, another larger one would of been nice. This was a clean well equipped apt. Carlotta was very helpful and communicated well with directions, places to eat and if we arrived early, offered to hold our luggage for a bit while we explored the Duomo just down the street. We had a great time in Florence and would recommend this place to anyone.
