An amazing location and the apartment is spacious and beautifully appointed with comfortable furniture and all you need to relax in the evenings. This is our second accommodation rental in Florence both being within a block of each other. The other was smaller and well appointed. We LOVED the location of this apartment for ease of access to all things Firenze! Silvia and Simona were extremely welcoming! I can't say enough about how lovely and spacious this apartment is and indeed, we are a couple, so great room for two couples (plus) easily! The historic tower -fourth floor-80 steps up--has ok views above the rooftops. The major challenge (for us, maybe renters) is the noise that emanates from the street below. (we heard nothing at our other accommodation that had internal courtyard windows, also in a tower on 3rd floor) . As previously mentioned by others, noise late at night midnight-ish and in the early morning, 6:00 from the vendors rolling their large carts on the cobble streets was significant. With such an amazing apartment I'd suggest the noise might be deadened-reduced maybe even with heavy curtains over the already lovely wooden shutters. Free advice I know, but earplugs won't always work in this case. Again, LOVE the apartment, not so excited about the noise that I glossed over in past reviewer comments.
