This 2 bedroom apartment is located about a 5 minute walk from the Duomo. From here you can reach everywhere in the center of Florence - even the Oltrarno - in 30 minutes or less on foot. It's a bit of a trek from SM Novella (the main train station) if you're walking with bags - perhaps a 25 minute walk. But once there, you're ideally a bit outside the congested parts of the center where in the summer you can barely walk, and yet it's all very accessible.

The flat itself is spacious, well furnished and well maintained. When you enter, the flat cuts to the left, where there's a bedroom and a bathroom. A hallway leads from the entrance, passing the second bedroom, and leading to the living room / dining room area. There's a semi-blocked off kitchen that's well stocked with utensils and some basics (salt, oil, etc) and a second breakfast table.

The living room has a fold-out couch. Although the bedrooms are away from the street and thus very quiet, the living room is above the street and at night there could be noise from a restaurant/bar below. The windows are double paned, and block traffic noise, but the owners, who are very attentive to their guests and well travelled themselves, like to be extremely forthcoming about any potential areas of complaint there might be in regards to the noise.

That said, the bar apparently isn't open all year round, and having checked reviews from them from other sites, there were no negative comments about it.

Since the owners established one price per night, regardless of the number of guests, this is a great deal for a family, costing less than a typical double room in a hotel for the entire place.
