Unbelievable experience in this very special apartment. When you go out onto the balcony, there is the Duomo (and the Baptistery) - the heart of Florence. Every morning, we would have our coffee and croissants out on this balcony with the Duomo in the background. Incredible. The apartment was cleaned thoroughly and everything we needed was already there. The rooms were nicely appointed. OK, so at the end of a long day, we had to climb up 5 flights of stairs - but, to us it was so worth it. We just embraced the travel philosophy that not everything will be perfect. If you can handle the steps, I really recommend this experience of staying in this apartment.
