This apartment is very central to the popular monuments, museums, and sites in Florence. We stayed very comfortably (a family of 3) and enjoyed the convenience of the location and the comfortable furnishings and amenities. It was very helpful to have a kitchen with refrigerator and coffee maker as well as a washer within the apartment. The stairs were tough (after climbing the Duomo) but not impossible and the elevator/dumbwaiter was very helpful with regards to our luggage. We were able to walk to/from the train station as well from this apartment. The air conditioning and shutters for the windows were helpful in blocking the street noise late at night as it's a popular area for tourists (who might be jetlagged and awake in the late night time hours). Donatella was a wonderful hostess and very helpful and communicative.
