The location is absolutely fantastic! You’re around the corner from the house of Dante, just a few short blocks from Piazza della Signoria, a good market/grocery store is steps from the main door of the building, a lot of great restaurants and shopping right outside the building too, and it’s easy to walk pretty much anywhere. Oh, and there are cool views of bell towers from the kitchen and bedroom.
Silvia also has things laid out in a little instruction book with very good recommendations. Of course with a location like this there is a little noise, but I didn’t find it to be bad at all, maybe because it’s a few stories up...
As the listing is very clear about, it is a walk up. I didn’t find it bad myself, but everyone is different. Also, the listing was clear that the shower is narrow, but even as a decent size man (5’11”/200lbs - 180cm/90kg) I did find it to be an issue, and I was there two weeks.
Staying for a couple of weeks I would definitely say it’s setup to accommodate for longer stays. The washing machine worked great, the kitchen was well equipped, the grocery store a few doors down, bus stops nearby, and the train station only about a 15 minute walk; I think you have everything you need.
I didn’t have any problems or needs, but if I did I feel they would have been taken care of quickly. Silvia was very responsive and communicated everything very well.
I certainly recommend Silvia’s place and hope to return myself.
