We can thoroughly recommend this apartment and had a very enjoyable stay. The apartment has a great atmosphere that captures the intellectual aspects of Florence culture and famous attractions. It's in a great location with excellent local cafes nearby and Alessandra is very helpful in recommending good restaurants including some glutine free options which we required. We wondered about the three flights of stairs but it really wasn't a problem and we are not particularly fit. There is a bit of traffic noise but it wasn't excessive and didn't disturb us unduly, in fact it added to to the atmosphere. If you can't get to sleep without dead silence it might be a problem. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return again.
