This lovely apartment is a perfect choice for the first-time visiter to Florence. Communications in the run up to our arrival were very simple and straight-forward, with Paola addressing all our queries. Once we reached Florence we were met by Paola's very kind son who showed us around the apartment and gave us a folder with local recommendations and so on. Be prepared for the many flights of stairs you'll have to carry your suitcase up to reach the apartment though!

The apartment was as described and the view is simply incredible. With the cathedral on your doorstep expect to be woken up by the bells early in the morning, although this is a small sacrifice for the location! The rooms are of a good size and very clean. Whilst we used the apartment as more of a base, there are facilities for cooking, washing clothes and relaxing in front of the TV in the lovely living room.

If (and hopefully when) I return to Florence I'd most certainly look to book this apartment again.
