This was a lovely find in Florence - such a convenient location on a pretty, safe street (a nice shopping street) about 2 blocks from the duomo. On weekend evenings, you could hear a bit of commotion on the street below, though it was surprisingly quiet in the apartment, and the noises from outside did not interrupt our sleep. We could hear church bells in the morning, too. It was about a 15 minute walk from the main train station (s.m. novella), where you can also catch a convenient/cheap tram to & from the airport. Otherwise, we walked everywhere from the apartment. The apartment was spacious with very high ceilings. It has nice furnishings and was clean. Plenty of room for our family of 4 (2 adults and adult children). A simple kitchen had what we needed for quick breakfasts before sightseeing. It was nice to have small balconies to enjoy some nice weather and beautiful duomo views from both bedroom windows. There was a washer/dryer machine on one balcony and other amenities like an iron/iron board, shampoo... Overall, it was an excellent, highly convenient spot for a multiple day stay in Florence and we would definitely recommend to others!
