The terrace and location of this apartment are fantastic. Apartment is located near great restaurants and markets and a children’s park around the block, which we appreciated with three children under four years old. The Santa Croce area is touristy but not compared to the Duomo and the apartment is tucked away on a quieter side street. There are quite a few steps to access the apartment. With Our children (and 2 strollers) this was challenging. Although it is doable (we did a long term stay for four weeks), it definitely got old trying to lug the children, strollers, groceries, etc. up the steps every day. Additionally, we stayed during most of June and it was HOT. There is no AC in the apartment, which we expected from the listing description. It did get quite cooler at night to open the windows. However there were so many mosquitoes we usually ended up closing them. For a shorter stay, I would definitely recommend. Tommaso and his parents are very nice people and the apartment is equipped with everything you need.
