The apartment is in a great location; all the main sights in Florence are within walking distance but it is a little bit away from the central tourist area. It was nice and clean, and overall was roomy for 2 people (toilet room and shower room are small but workable). There is considerable street noise but this quieted down considerably by midnight. If you are a light sleeper or turn in early you might want to consider bringing earplugs. Walter was a kind and helpful host and promptly responded to questions. His detailed dining recommendations were much appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.
