We had a great time for our first visit to Florence. We loved staying in this apartment, a far nicer way to travel than hotel rooms. The building is older as are all the buildings in Florence. The sitting and eating areas are large and we were able to make breakfast every morning. The bed is a tad small for two but fortunately there is also a pullout bed in the living room. The street can be noisy, which was expected being a busy cobblestone street. To mask gave us lots of tips on where to dine and was very helpful. We enjoyed the apartment and would return.
