The apartment is perfect. It is very clean and has a good bed with good linen. The kitchen is well stocked. The bathroom is away from the kitchen, lounge, and bedroom - which is a nice arrangement, but unusual in a 1 bedroom apartment. One of my friends, who has been living in Florence, on and off, for 40 years, visited and was very impressed: "...look at the high ceilings...look at the windows...The red velvet is a beautifully traditional florentine decoration...Via Maggio is a desirable address...This is the sort of apartment I want to buy!" The apartment is very secure, with 4 locked doors from the street - I felt very safe leaving valuables in the apartment. The bakery below serves the best croissant I have ever eaten. I will recommend this apartment to all my Australian friends visiting Florence.
