The only way to experience Florence - a two-week stay in this very nice apartment! It was great to be able to relax and stretch out after 4 or 5 miles of walking all over the old town and seeing the monuments, museums, art, sculpture, and wonderful architecture of Florence every day. This apartment lived up to its description in every way - we were very pleased with our stay! Perfect location - everything within 10 - 20 minutes walk. The only drawback (as has been pointed out in several other reviews) is the noise level from the bar and trattorias in the piazza below. But there is a new window installed in the master bedroom that really dampens the noise until they crank up the music on Fri and Sat nights. Since there were only the two of us, we moved over to the inner bedroom after a few nights for the rest of our stay and it was so much quieter and darker. (Younger folks than us would probably have gone down to the piazza and joined in with the fun and not noticed the noise at all!) Everything considered, though, this was a great apartment, with newly remodeled bathrooms and kitchen, a dish washer, washing machine, great water pressure and a seemingly endless supply of hot water. We would definitely go back!
