Fantastic location just steps away from Florence Santa Maria Novella Train Station. Literally at its doorstep. However, the convenience comes with a slight negative as our room was above a very busy street and the sound proofing wasn't fantastic which affected our sleep as we were affected by the noise from the streets for almost the whole night. If you are a light sleeper, you may wish to request for a room that doesn't face the main street (above Macdonalds), if they have one. Other than that, we had a great stay and the room looked newly renovated recently. The size is also perfect for my family of 4. The apartment also has an elevator, but it was not working during our 2 days stay.
