Wow! This place exceeded our expectations! The location CANNOT BE BEATEN! I didn't realize we were down the street from the Duomo (what a shock as we turned the corned and there it was!) and just around the corner from The David. It felt very exclusive. There is an art school just around the corner so lots of students hanging around the piazza at all times... at first I was skeptical because they seemed like loiterers but I soon realized this is basically their campus so they were just eating and socializing between classes and we didn't mind them at all.
Be aware that it's 70 steps to the top floor and no elevator. It was fine for our family but could be an issue for anyone who struggles with steps.
The interior is amazing. Concrete walls, old wooden beams and doors, steel, frosted glass... I absolutely loved the design! The kitchen had everything we needed... dishes, cooking, toasting, microwave, dishwasher. There was even a washing machine which made our 12 day visit to Italy doable so we could wash our clothes.
Our family of 5 slept so comfortably.... I cannot recommend this place enough... You will not be disappointed!
