If you are considering this flat, consider no more - just book it. Yes, the views are amazing. You will take better pictures of the Duomo from the windows than you will from any other spot in Florence. The apartment itself is wonderful and perfectly appointed. The A/C worked well for the unseasonably hot day we had while there. The rooms are nice, beds are comfy, and the washer/dryer combo works very well (which is big for me in an AirBnB). Isa is great with communication and a lovely host. The stairs and noise from the square are as described in other posts, but those were not issues for me whatsoever. Isa is also very upfront about these items. I got up the stairs just fine and the noise from the square did not impact my sleep or enjoyment of the property. It is a lovely flat and I strongly recommend it.
