The best part about the apartment is the location. It is convenient to come by between the museum visits and rest. The kitchen is equipped with all the basic necessities. There’s a small fridge that works well. The bed is comfortable. There are two portable air conditioning units: one in each room. They work well and it was quite comfortable inside the apartment when outside was 34C. The bathroom is small but perfect with abundance of very nice soft towels. There’s a small elevator that you can take from what would be the 2nd floor. So from ground level there are 3 flight of stairs. Then elevator for 2 flights. We just took the stairs. There are light switches that you have to press to get light on stairs. Really nice solid building with convenient stairs. We had no luggage with us so check-in was simple and quick. Sonia met us and showed the apartment. With larger suitcases it may be longer but manageable.
The best part was getting up early and leaving at 6 am for a walk without tourists. 5 min walk takes you to Piazza della Signoria to see the copy of David. And a few min walk to Santa Maria del Fiore to look at all the details of the building’s architecture without any crowds. Recommended for early risers. Evening walks also feel safe and comfortable to get back “home”.
