This is a remarkable place to stay. Very close to everything, it is steps from the St Croce and shopping. One cannot overstate how wonderful the views are from the rooftop terrace. The Duomo, towers, the Plazza Michelangelo, all close and beautifully lit at night.
As for the apartment itself, we had some issues with European amenities but nothing insurmountable. If you are unfamiliar be sure to ask before they leave. Also be sure to ask if you need extra keys as they are not automatically provided.
The apartment is outfitted unusually in that the social space is all kitchen and dining area. The only additional social area is the rooftop terrace. However, you are so busy seeing all the sights that just hanging out in the living area really isn’t an issue. We were there at Christmas time so they had removed the umbrella on the roof, making it less useful. I would recommend that you either request the umbrella be supplied or visit in drier months, as the terrace is the best social area and is truly a treasure.
Although there are indications that the neighborhood is less than safe, we found the apartment security to be excellent and had no problems at all. The building is very old but the apartment has been recently renovated and is quite modern. The lift is small but efficient. Other apartments in the building are currently being renovated but we never had any issues with noise or dust.
The bedrooms are very modern. Only one bedroom has a closet and en suite but there are clothes racks in the other double bedroom and a wonderful view from the window. The third bedroom is closer to a twin than a queen room and has no windows.
The owners/managers were very quick to respond to inquiries and strived to provide an excellent experience. If you choose this place, go knowing it is a base to explore from, not a comfy house, and you will enjoy a wonderful stay in a unique and delightful little place.
