If your Italian dream includes sitting on a terrace to see a spectacular vista, this is where you need to stay. Just make sure you duck through the opening! Really, it was so lovely to return to this terrace at the end of the day and debrief with wine and see the beauty of Florence.
The apartment itself has everything you need, a serviceable kitchen, washer and very modern bathrooms. Yes the stairs are a topic of conversation...we were fortunate to have able bodied and strong men in our group to carry our large bags! One thing we did notice, only one dishtowel and one garbage bag. We went to the store and bought more bags....
We were a party of 4 adults and one newborn. Even staying across the hall from the baby we could barely hear her when she cried since the walls are so thick. This place is not suitable however for toddlers.
The location was tremendous. We did take a taxi from the train station when we arrived due to our baggage. (and the sweet baby!) , but it is an easy walk. There is a book with local recommendations for the area which was helpful.
