If this apartment is available just book it, you will be happy you did! The apartment is big - lots of space for our family of 4 to spread out. One of the most important things for us is that it was extremely clean. It is literally about 25 steps to the Duomo, yet was quiet and peaceful at the end of wonderful days in Florence. The apartment (and especially the beds/pillows) is very comfortable. Luca and Eleonora were great hosts! Communication was very prompt and they offered some awesome suggestions for our family. We loved this place so much I would plan my next trip to Florence based on its availability.
