This place is a real gem and Matteo is the best. We were in a pinch and had to check in a day early. Matteo was so kind to help us out and meet us that same day at the place. He left us cold water, little gifts, a bottle of wine and tons of local recommendations. He also checked in daily to make sure we were doing okay and even called us a cab when we were leaving.
The apartment is spacious and the view is so beautiful, it truly looks like a postcard. There is one room with A/C upstairs and an ensuite toilet. Downstairs there is a pull-out couch and a full bathroom. The couch mattress wasn’t very comfortable so I found it more comfortable to sleep on as a couch. No A/C downstairs but I just slept with the window open and a fan and it was totally comfortable in July.
The location is honestly the best in town. You are in the absolute middle of everything and nothing is more than a 5-15 minute walk away. Florence is my new favorite city in Italy and I think that is partially because our accommodations were so awesome.
One thing to note, there are a LOT of stairs. Like—a lot! I’m in Italy for a month and had a huge bag, so thankfully sweet Matteo helped carry it upstairs. But if stairs are hard for you, that may be a challenge. That being said, the climb is surely worth the view!
Would recommend the place to anyone.
