The apartment is in a great location within walking distance of many historical sites and the Florence Cathedral. Shiva even helped us by booking transportation back to the train station. She was kind enough to provide us a few places to try to eat which were great and a nice map of the city to help us plan our visit. Shiva always answered us quickly with any questions we had before or during our stay. There is some typical city noise that can be heard inside the apartment so if you are a light sleeper you may want to bring a sound machine or use a app on your smart phone. But in all the place is excellent and had everything we needed for our visit. We would definitely use this apartment again for any future trips.
