We really loved staying at this location for many reasons: the amenities were very nice (perfect for guests wishing to cut back costs by cooking), the elevator was very useful for dealing with heavy bags, the views were very nice, and the location was perfect for getting around Florence by foot. Some reviewers seem to have been bothered by noise, but we barely heard any from the apartment (maybe we're just used to city living). The experience really made you feel like you're living like a true Fiorentino...
