The location is excellent, near train station and T2 tram to carpark outside Florence and to the Belfiore Social hub Conference and hotel. Everything is within an easy 20-30 min walk. Although the flat is in the city centre, it is on the Western side which means it is very convenient for sites that are both North, East and over the river South in Oltrearno. It is quiet as windows are double glazed and have large shutters and there are no immediate bars/cafes nearby. It was very clean and had everything a traveller needed. I was there 6 days. It is managed by a very responsive owner who lives next door which makes everything easy as he opens the flat for you and explains everything. The kitchen is a kitchen, with stove, fridge, microwave etc. The area has useful small shops and there is an excellent local bakery/deli nearby.

The bedroom is larger than the living room although I spent very little time in the flat so it didn’t matter to me. The WiFi works fine in the lounge where the table is. I attached a laptop and phone and had no real issues. It works less well in the bedroom by the window.

Lovely apartment, it is small but plenty of space for the two of us. Great location, on a quiet street. Only a couple of minutes walk from the train station and no more than 15 minutes walk to most of the main sites in the old city. The host Osvaldo is very friendly. Check-in was easy. He met us at the property and told us all we needed to know.

The apartment was clean and had the essential amenities. We were able to walk to all of our destinations easily.

The area close to the train station is a little rough. Because the apartment is located somewhat in an alley, the nightlife traffic can get very busy and loud. During the day, there were guys lingering about , openly using and selling drugs. Although they didn’t bother us, I could see how someone could feel a bit unsafe in this particular neighborhood. If you’re looking for something quaint, you might want to look elsewhere.
