Excellent flat located in the heart of Florence. The building has a small elevator, so even though it's an upper-story apartment you don't need to worry about luggage being a hassle. The flat is a bit older inside, particularly around the bathroom and bedroom, but immaculately cared for. There's a washing machine, which was a huge plus and allowed us to pack fewer clothes than we otherwise would have - more room for souvenirs and wine! There is no dryer, though this was typical of all the apartments we stayed in as we moved across Italy. There is enough space for a drying rack to be set up. The bed is lofted, so make sure you can handle a small staircase to access your sleeping arrangements. We were given a thorough (slightly daunting) rundown of the apartment and rules on check-in, and very kindly shown a map of Florence with some nice restaurants and locations to check out highlighted. It's less than 100 meters from the Duomo, so you really are in the heart of the city. The views out the window look directly at the dome, which was kind of awesome. We spent a good amount of time south of the Arno river, and it was still only a 15 minute or so walk to get back to the apartment - very centrally located! Would recommend it.
