The view is amazing but please keep in mind that it is a lot of steps to get there. I consider myself to be in pretty good shape but this was a real challenge. I was grateful Matteo met me at the train and help me up with my bag. The apartment lacked the basic amenities but based in the other reviews, I would hope that my visit was an anomaly. There is no microwave or kettle/pot for making hot water. The location is good. Easy walk to everything. But keep in mind you will spend all day walking around the lovely city of Florence and will then have to climb 7 flights of stairs to the apartment and an additional 2 flights to the balcony. Matteo understood my frustration with the lack of amenities and quickly resolved the matter.
