At first you think “man, this hill and these stairs are daunting,” but then you get to the top, open the door, and see the view, and stop worrying about it. It is spectacular. You can see all of Florence. And with the balcony, you can sit on the porch with some wine you got from the shops down the street and soak it all in. I managed to set up a tripod and get an awesome time lapse of the sun rising over Florence one morning. The hill notwithstanding (which, again, is totally worth it), it’s an easy 5 minute walk to Ponte Vecchio, and from there the rest of Florence beyond it.
Lorenzo is a great host, with good communication and was there to help us settle in (carrying my heavy bag up those stairs!) and then check us out, making sure a taxi was waiting to get us to the train station. The newly remodeled bathroom is very nice and modern. We had zero problems with the space.
Highly recommended place to stay because of the view, easily walkable location, and the host.
