We really enjoyed our stay in Florence and at Giulia’s apartment. There is street noise, but this happens when you are so close to the centre of Florence, and we actually enjoyed the street noise. There is a street busker playing the accordion that was really nice with a morning coffee.
The apartment is as described, and the pictures are accurate.
As others have said, there are stairs, and we had a few suitcases, but we were aware of this due to others reviews.
The location is awesome - 10 mins walk to all the major tourist attractions.
Make sure to read the tips of others in the book that is available - there are some really good ideas in there.
Guilia was very quick to respond to any questions we had, both before an during our stay.
