This apartment is situated in Florence centre. Many sites are no further than a ten minute walk. Some are further. But we walked everywhere and saw everything we wanted to see by foot. The roof terrace here is AMAZING!! Please take a bottle of wine up there and enjoy the view. We certainly did!! We stayed two nights. After the second night admittedly we were quite stiff from the sofa bed, but as to be expected. The foyer did smell of smoke but that did not offend us. The room itself did not smell at all. We were greeted by Pilar's mother. She was lovely! And as helpful as she could be.... we did not speak the same language. Pilar advised we could contact her at anytime. The room had good facilities and was fairly clean and VERY tidy. Overall a good place. Thanks.
