Our location was amazing. We were a 10 minute walk away from the train station which was useful for lugging our pack through town. The apartment was located pretty much center of where you want to be for the action in the tourist part of town in Florence. The Duomo was literally right outside our building. With lots of restaurants and shopping immediately nearby. The host was responsive, and we were able to do a late check out with a short head time. Even though we were in the center of the action, it was quiet when we needed it for a peaceful sleep. Would recommend for a couple and a pet dog. There was a pull out couch but I think it would be tight for anymore more than what was mentioned.
