If you like the feel of staying in a historic home with a hundred years or more of tradition, this is the place for you. Very spacious, clean interior, and well maintained inside the apartment. Gorgeous bathrooms. The area is very centrally located, making it easy to walk to several piazzas in Florence.

The washer/dryer came in super handy for little emergency items. The decorations were so charming and beautiful. The ample room allowed our family to spread out and enjoy our stay.

As in most apartments in Italy, the water temperature fluctuated from hot to cold, to scalding, to warm every second, making it difficult to shower. But that's just a nuance.

The host was amazingly cordial with us, and little fine details were left for us such as some welcome snacks.

Thank you for a memorable stay!

A few items that the owner may be improving soon could include:

- Adding curtains around the bathtub in the master bedroom to prevent water from spilling out when showering.

- Providing mosquito repelling plug ins (leaving them in the closet) or some form of retractable mosquito screens in the windows. We were eaten alive.

- Putting odor absorbing in the main entrance to the building. Unfortunately, due to the dark position of that entrance and lack of ventilation, the smell of mold is very pungent.

- Coordinate with building management to clean the trash that is visible from the window - that falls from apartments above.

- Changing the shower head from the tiny 2nd bathroom to a removable one for more control might be a great idea. Shower is approximately 6 feet tall by 35 inches wide by 35 inches deep. Worthy of noting, although I will say that water never leaked into the bathroom floor despite being leveled with the shower.
