Truly A Cool Little Gem Etched on the Top of a Building Overlooking Florence Red Roof Tops! Lovely immaculately clean LARGE apartment, nice location with SUPER attentive hosts! No wonder they are super hosts! Yes it is 71 steps up …but this location overrides the hike up the small 6 flights of steps, as they are shallow. Besides, if your site seeing in Italy you’re climbing the Duermo so this is nothing! And, for any views in Florence all great locations will have some sort of steps to climb or an elevator > Federica doesn’t have an elevator BUT she does have two Super GREAT Air Conditioning systems (one in the living room & another in the loft/bedroom) which out weighed any step I took as I always ended up wrapped in a cool breeze once I got inside and turned on the AC.( kindly don’t leave the AC on when your not at home as the system is super inefficient & will cool the place in no time) This is a super clean, modern space with hip art work. Loved the design of the sleek modern all white kitchen with appliances hidden all on one wall (dishwasher, fridge, washing machine, microwave ( bring popcorn) etc.…) Nice amenities like all the utensils you could possibly need with bowls & plates, tea, salt, sugar & oil etc.… I REALLY loved having a washing machine & Federica has directions in every language. Dry your clothes on the patio during the day while visiting sites. My suggestion: bring less clothes ( no t-shirts – buy them in Italy as souvenirs) as you’ll be washing & you won’t use half the things you packed. This large apartment is perfect for 2- 4 people with a nice hard comfy bed in the upper loft area with a cool AC blowing gently at your body. I personally didn’t like the pillows though as they were too high & hard & difficult to sleep on so after the second day I asked Federica for better pillows but she stated she didn’t have any more and just replaced them as the previous guests said the pillows were too soft. But, since I had unfolded the sofa couch to watch TV I accidentally came upon 2 softer/thinner pillows inside the couch that were perfect & I used those instead. Just goes to show you, to each his own. Anyway, nice big beautiful shower/tub for one person comfortably laying down or two people with short legs. Nice hot water. The towels were a little too hard/ stiff for my taste. Maybe it was the pattern but they were hard & scratchy. Or maybe it’s just the hard water in Florence & they were lined dried not sure. Frederica is a super host so by the time you arrive she would have probably taken my suggestion already & replaced the hard scratchy towels for others so no need to bring your own . She’s on top of it this is why...
