We had a wonderful stay in the HUGE apartment of Lisa's in downtown Florence. The location is FABULOUS. We had many family members coming and going so we really appreciated the four bedrooms and four baths. I can't stress enough that this is a very large apartment with a separate library and two outside spaces. We made use of all of these spaces.
The only two disappointments for us were that the beds were not comfortable and the kitchen is in need of an upgrade. I knew the kitchen would be small and I didn't intend to cook much, but I didn't realize it would be so outdated. It is indeed tiny but with upgrades could be quite functional. If you are looking for a very large and centrally located apartment this may be what you're looking for. The common areas were very comfortable. We played cards, read and visited everyday in the living and dining areas. My brother in law used the main patio space for painting watercolors in the natural light. The washer worked perfectly and we air-dried our clothes with no problem. Also, it was hot when we first arrived and the A/C was a welcome feature. Lisa also provided a crib and highchair for our toddler which we appreciated.
