Nice spot in oltrarno
Generally well appointed and equipped kitchen. Not far from the tourist sites, but far enough to be quiet and not overwhelmed by the crowds.

Great location
This rental is in a great location. A neighborhood away from the big crowds. The place has very limited kitchen space and no outdoor space due to machines being on the balcony. But the place is comfortable and works great for a Florence stay.

Great place
We loved the location...you can use public transportation or just walk to the city center in 10 minutes. We stayed a month and went to various close Tuscan towns...like Lucca, Siena, Pisa and Bologna...right from the central train station SMN Would stay again and recommend.
