Gianni did a great job setting us up inside the apartment by meeting us outside the door an hour or so after we got off our train. We were checking in a couple hours early to drop our bags and they accommodated that for us which was great. The apartment is in an old tower that we were told was built in the 1300s; however this apartment is very well furnished. It had two king size beds in one room (one was in a lofted area) and a room with two twin beds. There was also a couch in the other room if you had another person. There is only one bathroom so keep that in mind if you have a group of 6 like we did. Gianni understands enough English to make the checkin process fairly easy. There is a tourist tax per person per night in Florence, it was 2.5 euro a person a night for us in the high summer season. We really loved the location, it was right downtown (5 minutes from the Duomo, 10 from the Accademia and 5 from the Uffizi).

One downside was that the AC unit was broken, so it got hot. Opening the windows help mitigate this and the fans that Gianni provided helped.

Another was that if you have trouble with stairs, this apartment is on the fourth floor of the tower. It is a lot of stairs to make it all the way up.

They provided bedding and towels which was also a huge plus.

We loved our stay and they even left some croissants for breakfast for us.

Overall we loved our stay and we would totally stay here again when we are back in Firenze!
