We spent the last two days of our Tuscan idyll in Florence with a stay at Anna's wonderful, centrally-located apartment.
Pros:
- you can't beat the location right near the Duomo and the heart of the historic centre. You can walk everywhere!
- it's worth it for the view! Wake up every morning, go onto the balcony and take a look up at the Duomo while you sip your coffee. Stunning!
- the apartment was very clean
- wonderful shower, plenty of linens, pillows etc.
- beautifully-decorated with a wonderful attention to detail everywhere
- all the mods cons you really need
- filled with natural light through the big windows
Cons:
- if you are not a light packer, it is quite a trek up the five flights of steps with a heavy suitcase, so be aware of that!
- the bed - everything would have been perfect if it wasn't for the old, uneven mattress. We barely slept as we were extremely uncomfortable and sore. Seeing Anna's attention to detail in this place, I'm sure she will try to remedy that asap. Sadly, the bed was a big issue for us.
Honestly, apart from the bed, this place is amazing. The location and the view make it worthwhile for any short stay in Florence.
