This apartment was exactly as pictured. Beautiful! Immaculately clean. Check in was fabulous. Balcony is divine. Supermarket is steps away. Location is walkable -- about 30 minutes to central Florence. 50 steps up to apartment and no lift. Can be difficult for some with luggage. If you prefer a taxi to walking, Florence has quite a taxi problem. It was difficult to get taxis to and from the apartment. Fortunately, we primarily had private tours booked and most days we had arranged for our drivers to pick us up and drop us off at apartment. We did find it difficult to sleep with all the traffic noise. And one small issue was that the hair dryer was terrible. We went out and bought our own. If you don't mind traffic noise and walking, I Highly recommend this apartment. It is BEAUTIFUL
