The apartment is just as described, the view from the top deck MUST be one of the BEST in all of Florence!!
We really enjoyed it at sunset!! There is also a lower deck that also has a nice view.
Communication with Claudio was excellent and he met us at the apartment and showed us around. There is a lift, but still a lot of stairs to climb before the lift. Just FYI if you have have issues with stairs.
It was unusually hot two of the three days we were there, in August, over 100 degrees, which even with air conditioning, the loft was unusable, but as long as the weather is 85 or less the apartment is comfortable.
The Apartment is very large and there are three modern and usable bathrooms, one shower, but two of the three bathrooms are very large in European terms.
The kitchen was nice to have, and there is a store around the corner. There are also several great restaurants and bars on the same street, even a Mexican and American one across the street. Taxis are very easy to get, just down the street and the Hop on Hop off Bus stops right around the corner. We walked to the Duermo and to the river and man tourist attractions. Location is excellent!!
Overall, as long as weather is 85 degrees or less, we would stay there again!
