Victoria's apartment was well located near the main station and the rest of Florence's sights. We truly felt like locals wandering around the streets and the walk to Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore at night was beautiful. We didn't actually get to meet our host because she wasn't in Florence, so we picked up the key at a nearby cafe. Nevertheless, communication with her was seamless. The area was a little noisy as it as right next to the market, but other than that we had a wonderful stay.
