Florence has an old downtown area with lots of boutique shops and restaurants. The rental is within steps of all the action. There is a lovely porch from which I could watch the tide go in and out and the sea birds in action. Even got to see the drawbridge go up several times. The rental was well appointed with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The sofa bed is a little uncomfortable for sitting and there are only 2 outdoor chairs to sit on the porch. I have relatives in Florence so 4 would have been nice, but I understand it is a rental for 2. The unit is behind a commercial business, so no neighbors on either side. The upstairs unit is quiet so it was like being in a single family home in the heart of downtown.
