Thanks for a great stay, Betty! We had a wonderful week in Florence. Everything is at your doorstep with this flat - grocery right across the road, Duomo literally down the street! Fabulous. The neighborhood can be lively, especially at the weekend, but the bedroom is at the back and very quiet, so we slept quite well. As others reviewed, the steps are okay if you have no health issues. They are old and steep, and some are a bit worn, so step carefully and take your time. Also, as mentioned there is a bit of an odor in the stairwell and bathroom due to the nature of an old plumbing system, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker for us. Our stay was in the middle of a January cold snap, so it was a wee bit cold, but the bedroom was toasty with the door shut. The kitchen has everything you need, and the flat is spacious and nicely decorated. We appreciated all the helpful tips for sightseeing. Betty was great at communicating, and we wanted for nothing. Would definitely stay again.
